A review by plkingsleylibrary
Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey

slow-paced

1.0

This memoir is a perfect blend of pretentious ego and toxic masculinity. Not only does McConaughey promote and justify abuse throughout the entire book, he also adheres to the idea that wrongdoing is only wrong if you get caught. In the beginning of the memoir, Matthew mentions his hope this novel will be more than a memoir in the realm of a self-help manifesto. However, McConaughey never actually makes his point until the last three pages of the book. Not only did I expect more; this novel has also changed my entire opinion of Matthew McConaughey as an actor. Yuck.
