I think you don’t have to be a die hard fan of blink-182 to enjoy this book, while I’d say I’m a pretty big fan, the book is overall funny and reflective from someone whose music I’ve admired since I was a teen

Highly recommend the audiobook narrated by Mark. This book had me feeling so many things. Mark’s reflection on childhood traumas hit hard. It does feel like he spent a lot more time reflecting on his youth than anything in the last 20ish years but it was fun to hear about. Some parts feel brutally honest and I’m kind of surprised he included them. A good memoir, but my decades long love of blink-182 might skew things a bit…

More often than not, a memoir causes me to like a person more than I did previously. Unfortunately that's not the case here. Then again, I never felt like I needed to know Mark Hoppus' life story. But when it was sitting there in the library I thought oh hey why not.

In no way do I think I know how this man thinks and feels because I read a book he wrote about himself. That being said, the way his personal narrative comes across here feels very clueless to me. It feels very much like he thinks he's not the alien guy or the Kardashian guy so he's the regular, relatable guy. But he's not. Nothing about his life is relatable in the least. 

The story of blink-182 becoming a band has quite literally the least amount of struggles and hardship I've ever heard in a similar story. The way it's set out here, everything was pretty much handed to them along the way (multiple times people give them free access to things and large sums of money "just because"). They sort of rode the wave to international fame going "oh shit this is crazy!" and laughing about it. The bad shit didn't happen until they were all multi-millionaires having mid-life crises. 

Dude, cancer sucks. I hate that Mark had cancer and had to go through that. But he makes it clear he doesn't want to be known as the "cancer guy", so when you add it all together, the whole thing just left a bad taste in my mouth.

And I am CERTAIN there is shit about the Scott ordeal that was very purposely omitted here. That whole thing felt SHADY AS HELL.
