The form of the book does give an extended look at Hendrix' life (including family, concerts, albums, songs, musicians, music, racism, people in general, etc.) using his own words. And while his life story is well known to fans, as far as I know, this is the first book on his life in Hendrix' own words taken from many different sources and collected into a memoir. And by combining these sources into narrative form, the reader gets not only a look inside Hendrix' life, but also (and maybe most importantly) a chance to experience his rhythmic word patterns and the imagery his words and phrases conjure up.
