Best part of story, including ending: What I loved about this story was that it didn't skim over any period of his life. He talked about everything, even his feuds with Mick Jagger.

Best scene in story: My favorite scene is probably the opening of the book where Keith is traveling through the American south in a car filled with drugs and gets pulled over. He's waiting in an American prison and talking about all the reasons that the good ol' boys want to jail him.

Opinion about the main character: I like that the main character is very honest. He shares all kinds of personal information and doesn't shy away from much of anything.
