I always enjoy reading about rock star lives. I like it best when the artist narrates their own book, makes it more personal. I liked his laughter and up beat feelings. As we get older we find our younger days funny and crazy.

Pete's constant laughter at his own antics was very annoying which was a bugger because he was otherwise not bad. If you get past that one thing, it's a well written history of one the true rock legends.
