This audiobook, narrated by Springsteen himself, is one of the most enjoyable book-listening experiences I've ever had. First, his writing is excellent (which I should have expected, but didn't). Second, to hear him tell his own story is pretty incredible. And third, despite being a rock superstar, he comes across as being thoroughly human. I'll be listening to his albums in an entirely different light from now on. He does occasionally go overboard on the self-reflection, but that's a minor quibble. (I also checked the book out of the library so I could look at the collection of photos at the back of the book.)
