I read the book. It's not bad but it's not great either. The dietary advice is all over the place but it's generally solid and worth taking in small doses. It's understandable considering that he's in prison and doesn't get to decide what he eats.
The fitness advice is pretty good but it lacks in a few major compound movements, instead going nuts on isometrics and holds that would not be as effective as a regular elbow lever.
If he added the planche or one arm elbow lever (God knows he's had enough time in prison to develop both), the handstand pushup, more leg raise variations, an L-sit, and some other stuff besides pushups - those are a huge mainstay in his program - it would balance it out a bit. The isometric holds he has invented are all a little strange but it's because he has no pullup bar and can only do holds or presses. If Bronson could get a coach to come and visit him he would probably develop all of these floor gymnastic skills within three months, but I find it strange that he hasn't considered this already, he probably has access to a library.
Like Hannibal said you're going to have a good laugh at the penis enhancement section, as it's probably good info and I don't doubt it works well.
The book in itself is worth reading just because it's very funny and will teach you how to work around limitations and still be a fridge-hurling terrifying brick shithouse. The pictures and artwork are all hand drawn by him and they're hilarious. It's clear to me that the book he wrote is a labor of love. Incredibly entertaining.
