review 1: Robbins says, rightly, that this is neither a memoir nor an autobiography, but simply a collection of true stories about things that he's done or things that have happened to him. I found most of the stories hugely enjoyable. I've been a Robbins fan for a long time, at least since _Even Cowgirls get the Blues_. My guess is that if you've liked any of his books, you'll like this one, and if you haven't read any, this will make a fine introduction.
review 2: Sorry AARP, your recommendation of this book was not enough to hold my interest. I'd read Robbin's Even Cowgirls Get the Blues years ago and thought him to be quirky and entertaining so I thought I'd love this memoir. What I found is that Robbins loves his precious words so much that he often uses 3 descripto... morers where only one is needed,that sentences and paragraphs ramble so he can get yet another poke in, that he is more interested in reveling in his cleverness and good luck and less interested in revealing how he was a lousy husband and an immature prankster, how he spent time abusing alcolhol and LSD and less time talking about all the people who helped him along the way. Still, there were times I laughed and gasped at his audacity and revealing twist on life but that didn't keep me from skimming the last half of the book and skipping a few chapters. less
