I am reading it. I started a thread on it before. You can buy it at Amazon here:

On the good side:
He has had an extraordinary life and it is a fascinating read. He doesn't pull any punches in his account.

On the down side:
No photos. Not that well proof read (a couple of typos). The writing style is unexceptional - just like a long recorded monologue of Johhny talking.


Overall - well worth a read, a must-have for Johny Tapia fans, but not the best written book.
