Okay, it's been awhile since I've read it, but....
A for entertainment and information, for the same reason--this is partly autobiographical in addition to being a "how to." Some might call that narcissistic but I don't agree--I think it's better to show how a person's life impacts their writing.
B for lasting impression because I don't remember it well enough to give it an A.
Straight B's.
