I must start by saying that I am used to reading u2 books that offer next to no new info/insight for me. Most will just recount the same career journey and bio information ive read a thousand times.
I must admit that this book had some new antedotes and stories that were worth the read. Mostly found in the first half of the book. The book does work chronologically thru the band's career, and it was nice to read some personal accounts from this Boston-area deejay about interactions with the band in those early tours of america. (stories of backstage and vip room type meet and greets). Anything after the UF-era is pretty routine info, and you can tell that his direct access to the band was probably getting limited as their fame increased.
Just thought i'd drop my 2 cents in case someone is wondering if this one is worth the read.
