1.0

Yes, I have a crazy secret fascination and love for Garth Brooks. I picked up this book because it was on our sale shelf and therefore no one could prove I had checked it out on my account. I really expected so much more from a book with such a flashy cover.

While reading this, I began to sense that it was poorly written and very biased from the author's perspective. That's fine. Sometimes it felt like it read like a really really long school report on Garth Brooks. That's fine.

At the bottom of page 298 in the last paragraph, when referencing Dr. Seuss, the author spells his name wrong (i.e. "Suess). Twice.

NOT FUCKING OKAY.

The fact that you can't spell check that shit, that you incorrectly spell the name of the most beloved children's author of all time, COMPLETELY discredits this entire book for me. Totally ruined. Thanks a lot Hachette Book Group for letting this slip through.
