review 1: I don't think I've ever laughed so hard reading a book in my life before. Gavin is the guy you either love or hate. He's the guy at the bar with the most outrageous stories and one hell of a knack for telling them. There is no shame or sugar coating in his narrative. He cuts out the shit and what your left with is the defining moments that turned a crusty punk with angst and ambition into an older, wiser father who loves his family.
review 2: The journey from childhood to adulthood can definitely be a bumpy one, which I’m currently experiencing as I type this. Gavin’s voyage is no different, well… it’s not a typical bumpy one anyway. McInnes began as an immigrant from England who decided early on that being a rebel is something what he wanted to be. He
... morewas in a punk band, battle Nazis, planted evergreens, co created Vice magazine, took every recreational drug, slept with multiple women on multiple occasions, “partied” with Tommy Lee, got married, had kids, and yada, yada, yada; you get the point. What one can really admire is the arc; Gavin seize the opportunities that were presented to him and ran with them. At times he seems to brag about his conquers and failures, but if they happened, I guess there is no reason to keep them to yourself. Plus, Gavin is not trying to impress anyone with his life so far tale, the only people he should impress is his kids, though, he might argue. I wonder why publish a “memoir” at such a young age? But then again, his already lived a full life. I can’t help but marvel at that. less

It wasn't consistently great reading, but it's one of the few books that has made me laugh out loud.
