Eh. This one was alright. There really isn't anything new told here, at least as far as I can see. It was enjoyable, but mostly just a book of praise that got a bit tiresome by the end. Not essential.

I enjoyed reading it, having done so at a time when I knew even less about the BB than I do now. The sections on musicians affected and/or influenced by the album were particularly illuminating. Ditto the list of covers, although Gary Numan's "God Only Knows" is an entirely different song...
