This was less of a biography then an extended Rolling Stone record review. The only thing Dave Marsh likes better than Springsteen is Dave Marsh. If you want to read the author repeat his interpretation of the lyrics for hundreds of pages and harp on a couple of his own simple-minded themes over and over then this is the book for you. I found this book almost unbearable to finish even though I am a big Springsteen fan.
