Is the book worth reading?

If you're a Deep Purple fan, and a fan of the Mark 2 lineup, this book is well worth the effort! Thoroughly enjoyable, lots of good stories, fun to read. I recommend it. It also sheds a lot of light on the "inside" life in Deep Purple.

The sections from his Black Sabbath days are also highly amusing! :-)
