Awful; Do Not Waste Money on This BookBy John KahWhile I appreciate some of the personal anecdotes; clearly this piece was never vetted by a professional editor. If it was; 2/3 of the story would have been cut. Then as a final boot in the pants; the final 1/3 of the book consists of random and repeated journal entries. Never before have I bought a book and felt like my pocket was picked. Self absorbed blithering self pity.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
