It's okay information-wise, but it's poorly written (IMO) and has far too much of the author's own life being injected into the story. At several points I was thinking "Why am I reading about this guy? I don't care about him, it's Hackett's life I'm interested in". It reminds me of some of those band documentaries where they waste time interviewing fans in the crowd or the concert lineup: "This is my 120th Rush show. Best band in the world!" - I'm not interested in hearing from fans, I already am one! Good information is there, but I found it a painful read, personally. And a huge chunk of it is rather dull reference material. So, good if you want to study the 1980 tour dates, but I don't, particularly.
