How did you know it was honest?

I am not criticising, do you have an inside track?

Honest can not always mean truth

In autobiographys , sounding honest might just mean that alot is revealed both good bad and very personal. That is honesty to me

Thats what it was everything wasnt glamourised like you get in some autobiographys.

If it makes him sound exciting or charismatic then I'd say it's full of lies.

No autobiography is ever 100% honest in my opinion. They do have a lot of true depictions in them, but they are written to make money. Many autobigraphies that i have read have been glamourized and dramtacized a little (IMO) to make the person seem a lot more interesting than they actually are/were.
