Great Book!

Steve's narration was really relaxing to listen to & his story is relatable and inspires people to just be who they are. I can't wait until my son is old enough to understand this 💙

Great Read

This book kept me entertained from start to finish. I enjoy Steve Hofstetter’s stand up so I figured I would enjoy the book & that was correct. Weather you remember high school fondly, or if it was torture, this book will speak to you.

entertaining

life of a high school student told in a very funny way and interesting approach to the life of a stand up comedian. must of these guys are really smart and Steve is not an exception. easy to listen, good companion for a long ride.

10-year-old son LOVED it

He thoroughly enjoyed the whole story, the performance, all of it, only thought it should be longer :-)
It's very, very funny, but also gives a warm and fun and truthful, direct window onto being a teenage boy, with all that entails... entertaining, instructive, of great interest to at least this boy!

Steve has a story and I can't get enough!

Steve's autobiography is beautiful. he goes through pain but comes out funnier than ever. wit is his superpower and he uses it to navigate his world. he is the definition of being at the cause and not the effect. witty comebacks. off the top remarks. inspiring and every joke of his gives me hope that I can weather a storm even if it's full of shit. thank you Steve for this masterpiece.

Great for fans, really good to get to know Steve.

Fans of Steve Hofstetter will appreciate hearing this origin story and how he developed his finely-tuned comeback tool. And anyone who has been through high school will appreciate his funny and spot on take of all of the characters we remember, the ones we wish we were, and the ones we remember against our better judgment. You will recognize your own high school experience in one or more of the characters, and you will appreciate the journey that Steve has taken to being a premier improvisational and stand-up talent. A must – listen for fans, and a better-than-good introduction if you’ve never seen Steve perform.

Genuinely Engaging

I liked this book far more than I thought I would. Hofstetter narrates his own material, which definitely lends to the feeling of the book. I'll look for more from Steve Hofstetter; my only detraction of this book is that I wanted more. That's the sign of an enjoyable experience. I also dropped the author an email to let him know that I enjoyed the book...he got back to me within 24 hours to thank me. I didn't expect a response, and thoroughly appreciate the contact. Hoping Steve has a few more books in him, and the time to narrate them himself.

amazingly good

Not only is this man a hilarious stand-up comedian but also one hell of a writer!

truly entertaining and not so bad

whenever I purchase a book from a comedian, I do not purchase it for the actual story, I purchase it for how the story is told and this is completely spot on one hundred percent brilliant. there might be a lesson or two in here if you want there to be. there is a few moments you might put yourself in that situation, which makes this such a wonderful and fun books to read. I can totally relate to so much of this. Steve, Steven whatever you want to be called, hold your confidence High, you deserve this and you deserve every Star for this book

Thanks Steve!

Loved this book! Great read, easy to listen to, hard to put down. Neat insight into the life and making of a great comedian and a great guy!
