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.

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!

A Masterpiece

Probably the best books I've read, or listened to. It really showed in depthe the development of one of my favourite comedians ever. He's shown himself to be a very compitent and very funny writer, at least to me. His struggles growing up, the types of challenges he had to overcome, and his many mistakes he made along the way made him extremely relatable and often likable. The way the good people in his life not only helped him improve but were also always there for him made Steve's personality one of the most relatable. The way his jokes didn't always stick, in the case of "Frankly Scarlet.." but sometimes were the funniest jokes I've heard in a while, an example being that last joke during the speech. The main lesson that Steve ends up learning is a very important lesson that everyone should learn and understand. I would recommend this book to anyone what isn't Theo, Philip, Doug, or any other jerks of the like. 11/10.

Everyone can relate to this coming of age memoir.

I listened to it in one sitting! Steve is a brilliant and engaging writer. I don't think there's a human that went to high school who can't relate to some of not all of this book! Well done sir!

Really enjoyed it

Was a great, fast paced, hilarious book that I started and didn't stop till it was over.
