This was an excellent book! I just finished reading and reviewing it myself and I totally agree about having the humor mixed in. I found the part where he was called for jury duty and summarized why 11 of the 24 questions on the questionnaire applied to him extremely funny! Thanks for the excellent review.

This sounds like an entertaining read. I like the addition of a visual element through photos. You have done a great job at summarizing the book. Thank you for the review.

It sounds like this was a very inspirational memoir, and I like the fact that the author used a light, humorous tone in places. Thanks for a thorough review!
