It’s pretty lightweight, with no great insights to his writing, although it’s fun to see where he’s lived and guess at which books or backgrounds were inspired by which locations…  
It’s quite anecdotal and I’m sure it was dictated, so it rambles a little.

I found it interesting but I know some other fans were a bit disappointed in it, despite it’s winning a Hugo. It’s a fairly quick read.
