I found it pretty interesting.... it gives you a lot of the history of Marvel and Timely comics, their characters as well as the disputes over character creator credit .... if you haven't read it it's worth picking up

It's not so much as I want to kill her...I just want her...to not be...alive anymore. I sometimes wonder if all women are this difficult. Then I think to myself, wouldn't it be MARVELOUS if I turned out to be a homosexual?"
It goes over his childhood, his first jobs, his time in the army, changing his name, working for Timely, creating Marvel, goes over the character creation process, etc....
My "To Read" list is long...but I'll put it on there, and might get to it eventually...could be interesting. And Stan The-Man is nothing if not an exciting (if slightly cheesy) writer.
I'm not interested in the guys life, but his interviews always say the same thing about character creation, character credit, this and that... I'm sure I've heard it all before... so for me I'm probably not going to buy it. Although I would expect that all the marvel related stuff aforementioned will be well written compared to him talking in interviews.
I forget where it was said, I think maybe somewhere on buzzscope.com, but Stan is most accurately described as a cross between Shakespeare and P.T. Barnum.
