A number of people said that whilst not generally being readers of biographies and autobiographies having reading this book they would quite happily read others.

Some people saw a mismatch between the first and second parts of the book with the authentic Peelian voice of the first section being preferable.

John Peel and his taste in music were obviously of great importance to some of us and the abrupt cessation of his contribution reflected the loss of someone akin to a dear friend or family member.
