While typing this, I am listening to the last chapters and I dare conclude this post by saying that I immensely enjoyed it!
Ahmet Zappa has done a great job. At times I even got the impression actually listening to Frank himself.
The audio book is decorated with snippets of interviews and music, which add greatly to the enjoyment of listening to the book I know so well 💛
As Zappa fans are, I am sure many would agree with me, as well as many would not. But I enjoyed it a lot and I can not think up a reason to not recommend it.
Pretty sure that any hard-core fanatic will encounter nothing new, but listening to Frank's words, read by Ahmet, spiced up with some original audio recordings of interviews and music (not all of that great quality, though) will entertain.
At roughly ten hours, this is a nice piece of audio to have. I know I enjoyed it. A lot.
Thank you, Frank. And thank you, Ahmet. 💛
Music is the best.
A must-listen

The parts of this book that dealt with music or the music industry were very enjoyable. The political rants not so much. Frank was VERY cynical and somewhat of an asshole it seems.
Some good parts, some not...
