Basically, Richards invites you to witness history with him, and he doesn't leave out a single note. I'm talking tingles up and down my spine as he describes how the Stones formed and began and blossomed and bottomed out and rose up again... It's special. And I don't think he's a hero by any stretch. Actually, he comes off as a royal asshole to me (awful husband, shitty father, crappy friend, scary band mate), but at least he's honest about it.

He's a smart, funny guy. Another thing that gets lost in many of these critical think-pieces about Richards’ “Life” is that it’s damned funny. He’s a smart, funny guy.

The best line of the book is when Keith says, regarding Mick, something to the effect of "I may have been addicted to heroin, but he was addicted to compliments." Kinda sums it all up, I think.
