My rating is not about the readability of this as a single book so much as a valuation of it as a wonderful source of information as well as a wonderful example of how to interview people. Most of the interviews do make good reading, so I guess you could view this in a similar way to how you view a collection of themed essays or stories.
What I really found intriguing was how much of each interviewee's personality came through. I found myself not particularly liking a couple, liking some, and for the most part feeling like I was right there for the interview.
For the Dylan fan this offers even more insight into who he was in his youth and early years. It has been decades since I read Scaduto's biography but I think it would be interesting to see how much made it into the book and how much didn't.
While definitely a great read for Dylan fans I would also imagine that aspiring journalists and writers could learn a lot from how these interviews went. I found them engaging and it seemed like the interviewees were mostly put at ease, though someone in the field may well find things that maybe aren't recommended when interviewing. But the results presented here are phenomenal.
