I do, so far. But I love music biographies. It's really interesting to hear the back stories on all of the artists that he's worked with, such as Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, and Simon and Garfunkel in the '60s. Of course, I've been skipping around to the juicier parts of the book. He's obviously best-known for discovering Whitney Houston and, in the book, conveys so much unconditional love and admiration for her. He even includes the letters that he wrote to her, pleading for her to get help. They're heartbreaking to read, almost like a father pleading for his reckless child to get back on track.
If you're a big music fan, I'd say buy it or wait until it comes out in paperback. If you're just curious about the parts about Fleetwood Mac (he does talk about them three or four times in the book), check it out from the library.
