My review is for the audio book. Matthew McConaughey, reads his own book. I think you will get more from the book if you allow yourself to have this book read to you by him. His inflections on his writing gives it more meaning.
I really had a hard time with some of the stories. The bluntness, the raw, the violence, the language. Then some stories awed me. I love hearing his say GREENLIGHT!
I felt like I got to know him more and to understand him more, and even to understand my waning interest in his movies when he stopped doing ROM-COMS. Then I felt guilty for loving him in ROM-COMS, and ROM-COMS in general. I never realized they might be emasculating to the male actors and men in general. I have not seen many of his movies in many years. I have caught some glimpses of his personal life and humanitarian outreaches, and that was nice but not enough to make me want to watch his movies anymore. He even addresses that in his book, the lack of a an interested audience/public in his movies.
The description of his wedding really did sum up the whole philosophy of his life. He sure mixes religious believes, and makes it work. Don't forget to listen to his PS list. It was worth the listen.
