Dwight Garner, writing at The New York Times, reviewed Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography: The book is like one of Mr. Springsteen’s shows — long, ecstatic, exhausting, filled with peaks and valleys. It’s part séance and part keg party, and then the house lights come up and you realize that, A) you look ridiculous dancing to “Twist and Shout” and, B) you will be driving home in a minivan and not a Camaro. His writing voice is much like his speaking voice; there’s a big, raspy laugh on at least every other page. There’s some raunch here. This book has not been utterly sanitized for anyone’s protection, and many of the best lines won’t be printed in this newspaper. Most important, “Born to Run” is, like his finest songs, closely observed from end to end. His story is intimate and personal, but he has an interest in other people and a gift for sizing them up.

Have not anticipated a book this much since 2011. Incidentally, that book was Butch Walker's biography. I have my priorities straight.
Can't seem to find much details on the audiobook... I'm not an audiobook person but if he was narrating it himself that would be a pretty awesome listen.
