Well, I finished the HBK book, and I gotta say I was disappointed.

He only really skims the surface on a lot of his career, misses out a lot of interesting periods from his career, doesn't really reveal a lot about himself and seems on a permanent mission to remove his stigma of being a difficult or manipulative person to deal with. The story of the book seems to be "My name is Shawn Michaels, and this is why I'm not such a bad guy..." Trying to justify his actions, defend his mistakes... it's not a terrible book, it has some great insights and some amusing anecdotes, but it just never really seems to go into much detail.

Interestingly, for somebody who doesn't want his career to be remembered by the Montreal Screwjob, he does spend a lot of time building up and describing ... you got it... the Montreal Screwjob.
