This was great!! Didn't love the narrator at first but definitely enjoyed him not too far into the book. Couldn't tell at all where the transition was from what he wrote before he died and what was written after. My husband heard parts too and really enjoyed them, we both cracked up laughing at a lot of parts. I will admit that I originally got Dio mixed up with King Diamond, and was a bit sad when I realized that the"cat song" as it has been dubbed in my house (Never Ending Hill) wouldn't be included, but I did end up really loving the book.

Released almost 10yrs after his death, Ronnie James Dio's autobiography often finds itself in need of resuscitation. With asides from Wendy (his wife), the book feels rushed and incomplete, and seems to be missing an overall constant tone.
And I think that's because RJD, Wendy, and Mick Wall were all writing this. It's less a cohesive book and more a compilation of journal entries, interview snippets, and "things Ronnie probably said."
Also tldr, Vivian Campbell is a jerk?
