As a man on his own healing journey I really appreciate the work Justin is doing. I personally get more out of the podcast than I did this book, but I’m glad this book brought me there. I think if I was earlier in my journey I would have gotten more out of this book. It’s so hard to write a book about this topic, so respect to you Justin.

Awesome

Loved is. Came across is after hearing the author on Rogan and so worth my credit. I loved how he tells this story through a first person exploration. Made it entertaining and easy to consume while learning a ton. Well done!

He said

I’m a Ronson fan and wanted to love this book as much as Them. But the dialogue in audio format was tough. Too many “he said” “I said”. Made the listen a bit painful. Good enough book id say go read it.

Well Done

Great memoir. I heard the author’s interview on the Man Enough podcast and I’m glad it led me to this book. Redemptive, insightful and thought provoking.

Great

Revisado: 06-03-23

Am I a commie if I admit that out of all the classic road trip literature this is better than On the Road or Travels w Charlie? Put the controversy aside and just take in what is a great travelogue. Well-written, often times funny and does what you want from a travelogue: takes you somewhere different and gives you something to think about. Great book.

My favorite audible of 2022

Revisado: 06-03-23

What a great memoir. Porter took me there: to his life, childhood, career and all the challenges he has faced. Not to mention weaving in the pandemic and his own mental health. I really loved how he rotates these timelines. To think Billy is so talented as a singer, performer, actor and writer. Not to mention his narration. He went beyond reading. This book didn’t have voice- it had personality! While the uphill battle he faced is painful, to see how far his career has gone was truly inspiring. His writing was so well done I found myself able to relate my own life struggles. Thank you Billy for yet another wonderful piece of art. Straight white dude from Texas here proclaiming this to be my favorite audiobook of 2022.

Wow loved it

Man is this a great listen. Entertaining, interesting and thought provoking. It is disturbing how much more applicable a book like this is today vs when it was published over 20 years ago. A true tip of the hat to Ronson for creating something that is funny, disturbing and filled with insight.

Okay

Enjoyed learning about the characters and Finn. But can’t say I was crazy about the book as a whole. Felt more like it was for fellow treasure enthusiasts and could have had a better structure for the masses. Enjoyed the background on the other treasure hunts referenced too.

Great then Good

Revisado: 06-03-23

Loved the first half of this book, focused on his childhood, love story and rise to stardom. It felt like the music really drove the narrative and how the story was told through each song. The second half wasn’t as captivating for me, namely bc it felt too political and name-droppy. But I know to expect that with books like this. Overall was well worth the credit and my time. Production team took this one to the next level. Would recommend, especially the first half.

Ronson does it again

Revisado: 06-03-23

Jon Ronson has quickly become one of our favorite journalists. This short piece was worth the credit. Interesting, entertaining, and thought-provoking. Close to my other favorite Ronson pieces: Them and Butterfly Effect.
