I think Mr. Kasparov's personality is grotesque, but I have to laugh
at the strong and weak chessplayers taking pot shots at his book.  The
book is clearly a definitive collection of important games, the
analysis is just fine for its purposes, and several interesting
historical facts are given.  Maybe it was mostly ghost written, and
maybe its accuracy isn't supra-precise on every page, but who cares,
it is a wonderful celebration of our fine game featuring fascinating
moment after fascinating moment in all sorts of landmark games from
our shared collective chess history.  I think those that write often
on chess are a little upset they didn't hit upon the concept first. 
It is a wonderful book, I wish only that I had more time to read it.
