Surprisingly good. I expected nothing from it and it was actually a really soft and sensitive biographical book, full of humanity, for better and for worse. A nice little treat.

I would have liked it a lot more if it wasn't so: a) USA centric and b) dry and boring, especially around the 50% mark. I am glad I have finished it.
