Celebrity auto-bios are often self serving and pretentious. Whether one likes his music or not, I believe that one will come away from Holland's book with the sincere impression that he is a quite kind and decent fellow. His stories will keep one's interest through-out the book. Also, and quite importantly, he kept his chapters to a surprisingly small number of pages - but I feel he did in no way skimp on the details. Very enjoyable book!
