Interesting but not well written

I would be lying if I said I hated this book - I didn't, but I found it very difficult to read. The writer has chosen to arrange the book in topics rather than strict chronilogical order, and therefore jumps from one time to another, which was confusing. I also didn't find it as revealing as it had promised to be, it was just full of (largely) unfunny anecdotes and name-dropping. I finished the book feeling as if it wasn't quite complete, as if there had to be more to his story. A bit disappointing.
