It is not terribly long...but it grips you and just keep reading. I love the way each decade is broken out how all the little short stories just blend together and even reference each other from decade to decade. It is amazing reading about all of the stark personality differences between a lot of the faces we have seen over the years. Not only from a competitive standpoint but from a business standpoint as well. The background on his upbringing and his family history is really captivating. What really leaves something to one's imagination is how he always mentions where they were racing or what tour they were on where they were going for months at a time - not a whole lot is said some of the details of those trips - ask I think back to some of the crazy racing travel stories I have encountered over the years - I bet he could fill another 10 books with those alone. 
Since his involvement with the Prock/Montana deal, I've seen Snake at most of the races. I'd keep it handy if you go you a race; probably a good chance of getting it signed.
