A very poorly written book, seemingly written toward a fourth grade level. Although I didn’t expect much more from Larry, I did think that the cowriter (Jackie MacMullen) would have more control of the English language and the ability to clean up the rather pedantic prose. Larry spends the whole book telling us how he hates the limelight yet repetitively does things that draw attention to himself. He explains his failed relationships with Red, Kevin McHale and others as always the other at fault. There is no real self exploration, only excuses and a “That’s the way I am.” mentality. Save your money.
