review 1: I am a fan of Billy Bob. Ever since my husband introduced me to "Sling Blade", I have looked for other movies he has done. So, of course, I wanted to read this book. Unlike some reviewers, I am not going to pan it by talking about how it could have been written better. The book is upfront in telling you that it wasn't written, it was transcribed from tapes. So it's more like listening to Billy Bob talk than anything else. And that's a good thing! There were some parts that didn't keep my attention, but I can say that about almost all books I have read (and a LOT of conversations I have been party too). Overall, the book is interesting and gives a little bit of a peek into the man.
review 2: I knew this wasn't a Hollywood tell all book but I was dying to read it... more because I love Billy Bob and his peculiar quirks and sense of humor. Sadly the book was very disappointing. I was looking foward to reading about his strange upbringing with a Mom who was the town psychic but he barely touches on this. I was also forward to his ramblings on media and modern day life but he just comes off as an out of touch curmudgeon with the same opions being stated over and over again. Also, the book goes on and on about his musical heroes even though they are mostly people the average joe has never heard of. The book was done as recorded interviews with his friends and it shows since the stories play out very long winded and repetitively. His editors did him no favors here. Even if you are a big fan of his I would skip this book. Thank god I purchased it with a gift card...if I had paid for it with my own money I would be upset. less
