I read Townsend's massive memoir and thought this would be a breezy memoir that told no tales and kept everything light. After all Pete is the brains, and Roger is the front man with the awesome hair and usually no shirt.

Wrong!

The book was great. It glossed over things, but Roger made no apologies for anything. Pete may be the brains (and Roger is clear about this), but there is no Who today without Daltrey, and I didn't know this.

Roger is very open about his life and is a great storyteller. It's a very much Pete and Roger story. There are Moon stories, but less than I thought there would be. Entwhistle doesn't get much time in the book at all.

It's an above average memoir and in the upper tier of big rock autobiographies. Recommended for casual and serious Who fans.
