I was really looking forward to this book, as Tony has always seemed a bit of a recluse, private person, and not until the age of the internet had I ever seen many interviews with him. Most interviews in the past were short, with the same old questions. So, seeing his autobiography come out in his own words was very intriguing, especially since I've been a fan most of my life, and Tony Iommi is probably the musician I've seen play live more times than anyone else.I don't understand why anyone, especially fans of Tony and Sabbath, would give this book a bad review. I really enjoyed it, and was disappointed it was so short! I could have read thousands more pages. It had a great feel, kept my interest and you felt like you were sitting there with him telling these stories. I found it fascinating from cover to cover. Having been a fan for so long, my expectations were that most of the book would be things I already knew. Not the case here, as I learned a lot more about Tony and Black Sabbath. He touches on every album he did, and there were things that he talked about that I said "hey, I was there!" Like the day I met Tony, on Ozzfest and Ozzy could not play and Rob Halford did the show. Also talking about being at Ronnie James Dio's funeral, as I was there also for the Memorial service and saw Tony there.The personal things were also very interesting, and I think he did a great job of explaining how he overcame the accident that happened to his fingers, the recording of every album, the tours, the lineup changes, drugs, managers, lawyers, record companies and shady people. It's all here, though many stories are kind of short and have you wanting more. I could have read a whole book about every album the band did. He's had so much success, but that did not come without it's share of struggle, hard work, and determination. Tony truly has a great work ethic, even to this day as he battles cancer. The book made me realize he's more than just a rock star, he's a human being like the rest of us that has been through the good and bad. How could you not love the guy after reading this book? He's a living legend that worked hard to become one, and he has such a creative mind.This was a great read I would suggest for anybody, especially a Black Sabbath fan! Long live Tony Iommi!
