Some of the humour here is decidedly Family Guy, but thankfully there's little enough of that. I disagree with much of this, in terms of how I interpret Star Trek as well as what I'd class as facets of paradise, but that's what makes this easily the most interesting of the "autobiographies" I've read so far. That's helped by how many gaps there are in Picard's life and story (thankfully, this was written before the show Picard, and doesn't have to reference... any of that).
