Ehhhhh. I finished it, so it wasn't absolutely horrible, but was difficult to follow and hold my interest… Thanks for the opportunity to read this though

It was funny, but kind of disorganized. It was also kind of crude, which I did not appreciate.

A good-humored, raw and well written story about a teenage boy trying to find his way in the military and in life. Dan Martin's book is hilarious, entertaining and a fast read.

Dan Martin takes us on a candid, side-splitting journey from his days of getting expelled from high school, drug rehab, joining the Air Force (to meet girls and travel), and finding his way in this big world.

A great refreshing memoir about a boy trying to figure out this whole #Adulting thing!

I received a free copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Its been a long time since i have read such a boring read! I couldn't wait to get to the end of the book a) to see if it got any better but b) that I could stop reading such drivel.

The reason I chose this book was to read something different than usual. In general I tend to head towards horror or historical stories. This time however it was time for a change. That's how I ended up with this hilarious piece of work.

The story is presented as an autobiography with the writer telling about his life in a very humouristic and down to earth way. Going through his teenage years deprived of sex but with plenty of drugs towards the years he served in the army. He was never a hero nor did he achieve huge or great things in his life. He lived his life like most of us. The beauty of the story is that this is the story of a normal guy which makes it very relatable. A nice contrast for an autobiography considering most books are written about people who (think they) are special. Combine this with a very funny way of writing and the result is an excellent book. A very enjoyable experience!

Genuinely funny, this book is a high quality stab at self deprecating humor. I picked this up thinking that I don't normally enjoy humorous reads, but I found that the easy to dive into style and the episodic nature of the tale made it easy to read when I wanted a smile and to let it sit otherwise. Honestly, a perfect companion for a bad day or a difficult to get started morning.

On another important note, Dan Martin certainly has a way of describing himself and the choices he makes but somehow manages to do it with out unfairly disparaging anyone but himself. Even his ex-wife makes it out relatively unscathed, which is something truly refreshing. I can only listen to so many stories from people in person or on paper that make other people out to be idiots or worse before I start to wonder about the person telling the story. Dan, I appreciate the respect you show other people while still making me laugh. I'm interested in what else you put out!

An interesting inside look at the military with more drunkeness and drugs than I would have expected.
