This book was...interesting. Prior to reading it, I was neither a fan nor not a fan of Dog. I'd seen his show a few times, knew a little bit about him and his story, and thought this would be an interesting book to read since he seems like an interesting character. Well, one thing I can say is that after reading this book, I am definitely leaning towards "not a fan". He is very arrogant and full of himself, and I can't respect someone who has repeatedly been unfaithful to the women in his life with little remorse. His pre-bounty hunting days are glorified tales of sex, drugs and criminal activity. His bounty hunting tales are full of arrogance and self-importance. And to be honest - I had trouble believing a lot of the stories in this book. Overall, I think if you like Dog and his TV show, you will probably enjoy this book. If you are not a fan, or not sure how you feel about him, I'd pass.
