   What is 'decoded' by Jay-Z about?

   Is Jay-Z's 'decoded' a good book?

   • Most of the criticism is that the book is not personal enough and does not provide enough detail of Jay-Z's life. Simon Vozick-Levinson writes in Entertainment Weekly "Despite the career he has made out of rapping in the first person, Jay-Z is known for prizing privacy. His new book 'Decoded' may not erase that reputation."
