Historia5 out of 5 stars 8
The author's young adulthood basically amounts to a how-to primer for addiction. Paranoia and impulsiveness, obsession, and manipulation. Throw in compulsion, false pride, fear and dishonesty, all driven by self-centered thinking. The gateway behavior for all the others. Blessed with a good memory, almost granular for certain events and circumstances, Mike Matson turns his journalist's eye on his own past and the result is an honest, unflinching look at his decades-long struggle with addiction.

Having read Courtesy Boy in print, I thought I knew what to expect from the audiobook. Mike’s incredible narration, however, exceeded all expectations, turning an already powerful story into an even more vivid and evocative experience.
As a lifelong Kansan with a background spanning radio, newspapers, and television, Mike’s voice is as captivating as his writing. He uses dynamic narration, well-placed emphasis, and thoughtfully chosen sound effects to bring his journey to life in a way that’s not just engaging but profoundly moving. His storytelling builds momentum, painting a detailed picture of his struggles and triumphs while drawing the listener in with every word.
Mike’s honesty and vulnerability shine even brighter in this format. The audiobook adds a deeper layer of connection, making his experiences and life lessons even more relatable and impactful. Whether you’ve been touched by addiction personally or are simply curious about the complexities of the human condition, this is a story that stays with you.
The effort Mike put into the production is clear—it’s not just an audiobook, it’s an experience. For anyone considering Courtesy Boy, the Audible version is a must-listen.
