Sure, but also no. There’s some pretty obtuse observations here that might have applicability to organizations with the capital to fail and start over. If you have everything to lose, this book is a roadmap to failure.

So, uh, I like Led Zeppelin a fair bit and was psyched to read this. It's really pretty messy - both in execution and subject matter. History grants these guys a pass but they were by turns violent, sadistic, menacing. They had sex with children, tortured and killed animals, raped a woman with a mud shark and then urinated and defecated on her. She was under 18, btw. It's fine because you wrote "Kashmir"?

I don’t have the stomach for whale slaughter.

I rarely bail on a book after the 25% completion point but this one is an exception. It’s a hatchet job. So much of it is uncorroborated and written with an agenda. There are plenty of books and articles about the myriad ways Marvel mishandled its affairs and properties with many of them accurately explaining Lee’s role in those messes. Find those and avoid this one.
