"A great book to read before you get on the roller coaster to hell,
if you plan on surviving to tell about it like Steve-O did."--Nikki
Sixx, author of The Heroin Diaries
"It's mind-blowing to me how utterly far gone Steve-O was, and how
he looks back on it in this book with such intelligence, humor, and
searing honesty. What a truly unbelievable life."--Johnny
Knoxville
"This is the perfect book for people who hate reading."--Tommy Lee,
author of Tommyland
"Thoughtful and revealing, but on-brand....The new book is filled
with profound observations and frank revelations. If the first
[book] goes to the bone, this one goes to the marrow."--CBS
Saturday Morning
"A disarmingly direct memoir of mistakes and course corrections
studded with some useful advice."--Kirkus Reviews
"Dude, this book is wildly engrossing. I finished it in almost
three hours, and I literally hate books. Just when I thought I
couldn't have seen more of Steve's private parts, he managed to
bare even more stuff that most people would deny 'til their dying
day. The results are riveting, hilarious, and shockingly
educational."--Whitney Cummings
"While one might not expect to find wisdom in a hilarious tale
about belly-flopping into a urine-filled kiddie pool, Glover is a
veritable expert at learning 'some valuable shit from [a] lifetime
of terrible decisions.' Dick jokes aside, this is full of heart and
hard-won insight."
--Publishers Weekly
"I read this book all in one sitting. I am first of all blown away
by Steve-O's continued sobriety and also his honesty and complete
transparency in writing this wonderful book. Eternally proud of my
brother."--Johnny Knoxville
"The way Steve-O has turned his life around is just incredible.
It's all in this book!"--Dana White, President of the Ultimate
Fighting Championship
