It was an interesting read about Trevor's life. I came to see just how eventful and downright tragic his life was over the years and was even more inspiring to see how his mother's influence prevented him from taking all that hurt and going down a dark path. I could never have imagined the amount of trauma this man has endured, yet still, manage to be the funny guy I knew him as before starting the book. There are of course some weak parts, specifically the poop chapter, but they are easily overshadowed by the stories involving Patricia Noah. She was by far the best part of the book and I was always looking forward to reading about her. In fact, if she were to write her own book or if Noah were to write a book for her I would buy it in a heartbeat.
