Review # 1 was written on 2010-02-18 00:00:00 John Hurley "I can die now because I am married, have a child, and am a little famous. Also, all my stuff is nice. When it comes to women, I trade up." Any normal other person would probably love this book. I would like a book that says "I can die now because I am amazed by figure skating and I ate an incredible pastrami sandwich." I am going to get a pastrami sandwich from a Zagat rated deli with a bunch of old people immediately because the nap I couldn't take didn't make me less mad. I would like to read his first book. I would bet this is a great book to hear read.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-04-08 00:00:00 Leslie Mediate I read Evan's second book first because I couldn't find a copy of the first book in good shape (I since have.) This one picks up where the last one left off and while we whould be happy for Evan being free and clear of Leukemia, the book is full of his post trumatic trails. I grew up in the same town as Evan so when he mentions my middle school gym teach or one of my best friends older brothers death, well, it really hits home. Sadly, when I finished the book I felt like I had read Evan's attempt to Set The Record Straight on his personal life. Still, it is an interesting life and he is a great story teller - telling a tale as if you and he were sitting at a bar. We go back and forth in time, weaving the story of his life rather than rolling it out ina straight line.
