As such, with that on the plate, I often felt 'hell, this could have been so much better if it'd been edited properly!' when reading this book. I'm not talking about the contradictions—e.g. 'money doesn't matter to me!' vs the multitudes of times when Tricky counts how much money he's made—but of how the entire book is filled with little anecdotes that, in the end, left me feeling this book is a more a mosaic that forms a weird pattern as a whole, instead of becoming a lovely brocade.

It's refreshing, even though I can't help but wonder how much has been omitted from the final book.
