5/5. I have been a fan of Craig Ferguson for over 10 years now. I watched The Late Late Show religiously, I've seen his stand-up twice, I've consumed all of his comedy specials, I listen to his podcast...basically, if Craig is there, I will at least check it out. With this book, I had been meaning to read it for so long but despite a couple of attempts, I just wasn't in the right mindset. But I finally decided to commit to it, and I'm glad I did, because this book ended up being one of my favorites I've ever read. I was fully immersed by Craig's writing style, which was funny & witty while also being intriguing. The man has been through *a lot* in this life and he doesn't shy away or hide from that, nor does he try to make himself look like a better man. He writes fully aware of his disheveled past. But by doing this, we get a really intimate look into his life journey, which I found to be incredibly powerful & moving.

You don't have to be a fan of Craig Ferguson to get something out of this book, but if you are a fan of his in any way, I can't recommend it enough.
