       I love Aeromsith and I think Steven Tyler is an amazing singer
       and one of the greatest frontman of all time. But not everything
       he does is gold. Certainly not this book. I really wanted to
       like this book, but fuck, as a reader I shouldn't have to pan
       for gold, looking through all the gibberish to get to the crux
       of the story he is trying to tell. Steven gives some of the
       best, most entertaining on-camera interviews. You know how he
       talks and likes to ad-lib and riff his way through with clever
       bon-mots. This works fine in an interview....not in a book. I
       really don't know what to make of the book, especially what the
       intent was. Whoever the editor of the book was should have been
       fired because he didn't do his job when making this book legible
       and coherent.
       I guess some could argue that keeping the book the way it's
       presented is to keep the essence of Steven Tyler intact, warts
       and all. I get that and in my mind I think it's the way it
       should be. But in practicality, this isn't the way to write a
       book. Well, it's certainly not a book that I would want to read.
       It's takes too much work getting there and by the time I get
       there, I have forgotten what the fuck he was talking about
       leading up to that point.
       The book gets an average grade because there are still some
       interesting things to be found inside. But there are just way to
       many random stuff being thrown at the reader that it constantly
       leaves you scratching your head.
       I can't recommend this book if I know for a fact that I will
       never bother reading it again. Well, here's hoping that the
       remaining three from the band (Tom Hamilton, Joe Perry, Brad
       Whitford) can somehow manage to write the definitive book on
       Aerosmith. So far they are 0-2. Sigh.
