Doesn't really hit any of the marks it's aiming for. Hyper-defensive about criticism, but doesn't really “defend” the genre; it's more of a history. Contains anecdotes the author should be embarrassed by, but instead brags about. Does touch a bit on the Mexican ska scene toward the end, which is neat, but even then it's pretty light. Might have been nice to explore other countries a little too.
