Helpful Score: 1
If you've read Dream Brother, a lot of this book is very similar to that (though it doesn't flip flop between Jeff & Tim as much--stays more on Jeff). The thing that turned me off about this book is that the author included his own subtle digs at folks that wouldn't speak to him. I find that incredibly juvenile... not everyone that was buddies with him wants to use that to gain popularity. Some people hold that time sacred, and don't speak about Jeff to the media. There are definitely some blatant inaccuracies. Tough to write about someone after they've passed, but I feel this book could have used a bit more research and tact.
