This Thing Called Life: Prince's Odyssey, On and Off the Record

My local library does not have a copy but I can get it, as an interloan for $10. Is it worth reading?

If you Google, you can buy it for much much less. If tempted, make sure you read it with a grain of salt. Post 1989, let's just say that later associates never heard of this guy. More than one event (the 2007, for instance) did not occur - verified.

Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.

I've read it.

It's okay if you believe what he has to say.

By interloan, I meant it can be sent to my local library from another, and the fee for that is $10. I won't be buying a copy. I just want to know, if it's worth getting out?

In my opinion, the book is absolute trash. It makes sensationalist claims and tells outright lies. Karlen expects the reader to take everything he says as the gospel truth, which is such a disgusting attitude. Ugh!
