The Life of Bobby Rydell

There are parts of this book that were interesting. He tells stories of how he made it and contacts over the years. I could tell pretty quick that this was self-published. The writing style just felt it. There are stories about growing up that I didn’t care. I don’t care about his school. When the fame comes, it gets interesting. 
The book is conversational and easy going to read, but too conversational. It could’ve used a clean up editing job. 
The book doesn’t give up gossip on other performers. He met a fair number of rockers over the years. To Bobby Rydell's credit, he does get into his faults, alcohol, absentee parenting, and first sexual encounters. This wasn't just a memoir where the author tells everyone how great he was. He does own up to shortcomings in an honest way. 
When I went to the book signing, Bobby Rydell went into the story of his donated liver. Everyone in the room was enraptured. I got the book thinking that organ donating would be a big theme. It gets only a few pages in the book.
