Well, that was something! If you like rambling, gossipy memoirs (I do) and WWE, this may be a book for you! I loved the weird little throwaway anecdotes.... and just the weirdness of the book overall, really. Not worth reading if you don't know anything at all about WWE, since it doesn't have a strong enough narrative or contextual thread to make sense without some prior knowledge.

Felt like I needed more from this. The byline also suggests that being gay changed the way WWE handled gay superstars, but the book tells nothing of the sort. It was an easy read, small stories here and there, but I felt unfulfilled and wanting more.

It was really amazing! Felt like it was Pat himself telling me stories about his life and career. I always heard nice things about Pat Patterson from interviews and podcasts and now I know why.
He is a really good storyteller(I mean of course he is), and I never felt like I was lied to, or that he said half-truths.

One of the more upbeat autobiographies I have read. Patterson gives mainly the highlights of his life and career, not really getting all that in-depth on much, but as he is an entertaining storyteller, Accepted makes for a great read. I got through it much faster than I expected, and I think that is mainly due to Pat keeping to the main point of any story he is telling and not getting bogged down in the minutae.
Definitely not for those unfamiliar wirh wrestling, but an incredibly moving memoir. Would highly recommend.
