such a fun read. some hard hitters, some skips but overall i thoroughly enjoyed some good old english wit (re: “i will never be as tough as pitbull”) combined with emotional torture (re: “things you only know when both of your parents are dead”). happy new year and let’s hope that this will kick my ass out of the everlasting reading slump!

It's a tough one to rate. I laughed out loud sometimes while reading it, which did not happen in years with any books. At the same time, I thought that some chapters were very boring and wondered why they were in the book at all. I think it clearly attains its goal : it is very relatable.

Divine read, easily digestible in small settings to get you back into the swing of reading and hilarious all the way through. A bit too many sports references in it for me though. Reread the molly section like 10 times laughing hysterically.

There were some chapters that lost me about football but that wasn't really the quality of the writing's fault. I found it very funny though and the last chapter on his relationship with alcohol was particularly compelling. Good book.

I am probably not the intended audience for this book, and that is fine. It's also fine that I have an opinion about it. This book is terrible. It was painful to get through and horribly boring but I was adamant about not DNF'ing it. Half a star only because I thought the first essay was great.
