Full of self-depricating humour, Joe Trohman recounts key moments of his life and how they have influenced his life to make him the person he is today. Humourous and reflective, this is one for the fans who want to get to know the self proclaimed "man behind the man behind the man" of Fall Out Boy.
I found it a bit repetitive in parts, or at least a bit back-and-forth-y, and though Trohman's writing style is chatty and self-deprecating, it does lead him to go off on tangents at times. And by times I mean entire paragraphs of "what relevance does this have to what you're trying to say?". That said, I did really enjoy reading this (aside from the occasional vulgarity and rape jokes).
