Jon is an alcoholic - well that's not entirely true because alcoholics go to meetings. He also is a famous stand-up comedian but it hasn't always been that way. In his own words, Jon explores the meaning of his life through relationships and comedy. All along the way he grapples with battling alcoholism, love, and finding his life's purpose. Plagued by a variety of mental health illnesses, he provides a raw firsthand account of what his life is really like.

Chaotic Poetry

I have never listened to an audiobook before, but I truly enjoyed listening. It was hard for me to get into it, just because I've never done it before, to my surprise, I became addicted to listening to this book. I have a bachelor's in psychology and I appreciated how it was written through the mind of someone who struggles with mental illness. I can learn all the techniques to help people, but hearing someone say their thoughts aloud in a world where we are expected to wear masks to disguise our inner selves, is refreshing. The best way I can describe this book is, chaotic poetry. I received a free copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

A Heartbreaking Story of a Man Struggling Through Life

I was given a free copy of this book for an unbiased review.

I was a bit apprehensive while listening to the first few minutes of the book, I was taken back by the description right out the gate, however I was brought quickly into the narrative. I ultimately enjoyed the descriptive vocabulary, it allowed for a vivid picture in every aspect of the story and I it brought me more into it. I felt like it was very authentic, it depicted alcoholism the way it happens, and my heart broke for him with every situation... I was rooting for him to come out on top of every bad thing that happened to him and that was rarely appeased. As a “glass half full” kind of person, this was hard to come to terms with.

I hated the ending, I was truly shocked when I was listening that it didn’t continue any further, but as much as I hated it, I don’t see how it could’ve ended differently.

I wouldn’t have chosen this book to read on my own, it’s out of my typical genre, and it’s not my favorite book, but I did enjoy reading it and the story did move quickly and kept me engaged til the end.
