This book, despite the four months it took me to finish it, was by no means bad. Towards the end I found myself much more invested in the stories being told. But something always seemed more pressing, more interesting, more immediate that I needed to read/do/accomplish.
I found my mind wandering while holding the covers open. Jokes were missed, the subtext flashing by without notice. It took me awhile to jibe with the two toned A and B style chapter set up, and I really didn’t understand the structure until midway through, and I can’t say I was much of a fan upon figuring it out. An enjoyable, though for me very long read for sure.

Offerman's famed dryness doesn't translate all that well to the page, this would probably be better as an audiobook. The memoir bits are considerably more enjoyable than the preachy bits, which can be grating, but fade off about midway through.
3 1/2 stars.
Some parts were kind of boring, and some where hilarious. Wish it was a little bit more funny, felt dry in some parts of the book. The beginning of the book started off really strong, but then started to get boring as it went on. I still love Nick Offerman though!

It took me a little while to get into this one, and I'd probably really give it 3.5 stars, but I liked it better as it went along. It was interesting to read about Offerman's theater education at the U of I and his career development in Chicago and L.A. It was sweet to read about how much he loves and admires his wife, Megan Mullally, and about his admiration of other stars he knows well. While he gives accolades to many individuals, he also critiques the commercial aspects of casting and production in L.A. This was a pretty quick, enjoyable read.

It appears some Nick Offerman is really annoyed with certain Ron Swanson fans, so he wrote a whole book to piss them off. I agree with his politics and points, but tirades and being preached at is annoying. Also, other people's sex lives are boring. There is not a person in the world who I would care to hear about their sex life at 15. I'm not sure if Offerman is trying to make certain readers squeamish or if he's bragging, but my god did I not care about what he was saying.
