Told in a light, conversational tone, the book reveals many startling insights into a television star. Rick Harrison's early life is not what you would expect it to be yet he makes no apologies, just recites the facts in an interesting manner. After all, his earlier experiences have made him the man (and the star) he is today. From grand mal seizures in childhood to rehab in his teens to the successful businessman we see on television, he holds nothing back. The light, even affectionate, stories he tells about some of his customers are interesting and fun, but he also explores the darker side of the Las Vegas subculture. The book is very well written and is a fast read. It is perfect for teens who always look for the shortest book they can get away with for school assignments but is a bit graphic in spots for anyone younger than high school age. A must-read for fans of the show and anyone who likes a good autobiography. I just hope Rick follows up with a sequel that includes more stories of the Gold & Silver!
