My Heart Is an Idiot: Essays by Davy Rothbart
4.0

Energetic, addicting essays. My biggest problem with memoirs is the amount of liberty authors take with details and memories. This is no exception here. At times, it is difficult to believe that what Rothbart's saying actually happened.

But...

The stories are so crazy and well written that it almost doesn't even matter. They are that entertaining. Even if they're only 80% true, his life is much more interesting than mine or yours.

A fun read. 4.5 stars
