I haven't read it yet, but I've got a feeling that the reason why Scott doesn't go inot too much detail is because he doesn't remember much of it. It probably seems like a blur and as if it was someone elses life.
But, I was hoping it would be more like the "the devil gives you the first for free" article, which I love. From what you guys are saying, it's more of a skim over of things for the beginner fan. Which is maybe what he was going for...
Also, I wonder how much of this was actually written by Scott. In between albums and touring, I don't see how he would have been able to get into the 'zone' enough to write an insightful book. I wonder if it was more like he sat down with the editor regulary and just told his stories, or even phoned them in, while the editor put things together and chronologised it all. That way the stories he would tell would be more factual than insightful, rather than sitting with pen and paper and pouring his heart out. Dunno. I just can't see Scott really putting a lot of effort into this book, even though we know that he is a great writer and procrastinator. Don't spell check me please..
