This book is as laid back, weird, and idealistic as you think it's going to be. He's cute to look at, and I could listen to him read the phone book any day, but there's no Pulitzer Prize waiting to be awarded for this book. Basically, there is great insight as to how McConaughey thinks, feels, and judges a situation. I'm more convinced now that he really is a nice guy, comes from "salt of the earth" type of folks, and has been very blessed. I'm happy to find out he believes that too. It sounds like he has a great wife and beautiful kids. I'm happy he's successful, and that he loves his mama enough to let her enjoy his fame too. I lent this book to my mama. She said she didn't make it through Chapter One. "It was just too....I don't know. He's different."
