review 1: This book is very entertaining and I was thinking the whole time while I was reading it, "Could this really all have happened to the same person?" It was unbelievable to fathom how many bizarre stories Rothbart has in his back pocket. I don't know him personally, but I think it goes to show that Rothbart really puts himself out there so a lot of opportunities (and misfortunes) come along the way. Despite being misfortunate, he has learned little-by-little, lessons along the way and established great friendships through quirky experiences.
review 2: This read as a modern day On the Road (which if you recall, I didn't care for). It was a lot of lost drives across the country, which would at times feel romantic, but mostly just tiring. Everything was well wri... moretten, at times too wordy. Some of the essays were really touching, but mostly I was kinda creeped out. I had high hopes for this one and was kind of let down. I do think the author is a good person though... but our ways of life just don't mesh, which made for some cringe-worthy moments on my end. less
