Reviewers largely praise the book for its adventurous and gripping narrative, often described as exciting and fast-paced with a series of improbable stories. Many found it to be a compelling account of a remarkable life, with one reader noting that the protagonist's willingness to reveal even unflattering aspects of himself makes his experiences feel more authentic and believable. The book is considered by some to be a strong example of how an autobiography should be written and is even preferred over its film adaptation.

However, a consistent point of criticism centers on the latter portion of the book. Multiple readers found the final third or the last 100 pages, specifically the post-war period, to be considerably weaker and less engaging than the earlier sections. One reviewer explicitly stated that this later part was no longer as interesting and also noted the protagonist developing some "right-wing tendencies" with age, which detracted from their enjoyment.

Overall, the book offers an adventurous and often thrilling read, particularly lauded for its early and middle sections detailing a life full of action. While the conclusion may not resonate with all readers, those who appreciate a candid, action-packed autobiography focused on a dramatic life journey, and who can overlook a perceived dip in pacing or interest towards the end, are likely to find this a worthwhile and captivating experience.
