Love the confidence his imagination has on the possibility of things going his way.

I listened to the autobook version of this and that may be why I didn't particularly care for the book. I have seen Gary Janetti on various shows/interviews & I liked his personality. I like that he is sassy & snarky. However, I did not care for the audiobook at all. It was not entertaining to me & I didn't enjoy the snarkiness. I really thought I would like this book, but for some reason it feel flat for me.

I had heard this book was funny and rented it from the library despite not actually knowing who Gary Janetti actually was. Gladly, the book is hilarious whether you know who he is or not. The short (159) page collection of short essays follows chapters of Gary Janetti’s youth and early career. He is well known as a writer and producer for Family Guy and Will and Grace, among other shows, and his humor shines through. It was snarky, a bit mean and made me laugh out loud. The best part (in my opinion) was the chapter where he has a near nervous breakdown after being so excited to see Patti Lupone in Evita on Broadway only to find out that the performance he is attending has an understudy in her place.

A super quick & comical read. I enjoy following Gary on Instagram and his dry, sarcastic humor.

A collection of witty essays that depict revenant moments in the author's life. Childhood memories, the teenage years, college life, all of which make him the man he is now. A great fun read.
Thanks to the publisher for sending me a copy of this book and to Goodreads.

I want to start this review by stating, I am obsessed with Gary Janetti’s Instagram. The Prince George memes are absolutely incredible and I love Family Guy, always have. But, I didn’t love this book. It felt disjointed all the way through. He jumped around telling stories about growing up but I feel like I learned more about his favorite soap opera plot lines than I did about him.
I did enjoy the last two pages of the book, but would have loved reading more stories about him getting into the writing business and life after he moved to LA as well as his life before all that.
