I got a free ticket to his concert with Al B. Sure and New Edition and figured "why not go?" and had a blast. He was such a dynamic performer...and that made me a fan to this day. Ive followed his career through music. TV. and the tabloids. and I always thought he got the short end of the stick with the media--but its clearly true when you read the tragedies hes suffered throughout life.BB delivers the goods: he holds nothing back on his drugs. drinking. bad boy days. crimes. jail time. Whitney. his daughter. and everything in between. Its all in there. and many blanks are filled. He also gives his personal insight to what he was thinking at certain times in his life when the rest of us were wondering just WHAT he was thinking. He even explains the whole Whitney funeral debacle and why he left during the service. and you realize the media did portray it in a skewed light when his reasoning is really very sensible. Now Im sure some people will argue that its one sided (duh. its an autobiography) and of course hell try to make himself look better....but now that others are corroborating many of his tales in the media (i.e. Whitneys brother finally saying it was he. not BB. who introduced her to drugs). we realize he really did get the short end of that stick during his Whitney days.Thats not to say that he didnt make some huge mistakes--he acknowledges them freely and takes responsibility for most (though there are spots here and there where he makes excuses for certain things rather than taking the reigns on them. but thats OK). In the end. you realize hes just a guy like anyone else. trying to make their way.Fab read. totally worth the purchase.13 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Good readBy CustomerSo good to hear Bobbys side of the story. I enjoyed this book. Every page had some very interesting stories. I thought he kept his story about Whitney very tasteful and respectful. Im sure there was a lot more dirt he could have put in his book. but he chose to take a different route about his feelings. It was just enough for me to get the picture though. Thanks for sharing your story.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A good readBy J-LovelyI enjoyed this book: Bobby is a likable guy and the narrative moves quickly. I wish the book had been a bit longer. it felt like there were some areas that he rushed through like the early New Edition years and his marriage to Whitney. Sharing his experiences and thoughts on the deaths of both Whitney and Bobbi Kristina was brave and pretty emotional to read. All in all I enjoyed this book: it was very simple and to the point with just enough juicy material to keep you engrossed. Good job Bobby.
