Here's the thing of it: The Second Person from Porlock is a good enough book, but it is not a book that has anything new to offer. Poet/addict who treats his family poorly? Not new. Young man trying to understand his geneology? Not new. Young man wanting to become a writer? Not new. New might have been some of the female characters functioning at the novel's periphery: Coleridge's ill-used wife or his daughter who has grown up distanced from him (both were also writers) or any of the women in the Wordsworth household (again, writers) or Coleridge's Italian paramour. But they're peripheral.
If you enjoy the tropes The Second Person from Porlock offers, you'll find it an excellent read. If you find such tropes wearying, you probably won't want to invest the time to read it.
