![]() I think there's a lot of genuine remorse but there's a good deal of pride there too.Īnother issue I had was with his treatment of women if this were a fictional book I would've been hating the author for having no women characters other than ones placed here and there for purposes of sex, pissing on or cumming on with a gun to her head (good work Terry Richardson, you fuck). It goes without saying dude, you're intense as fuck, even in your memoir! It almost comes across a bit like false shame sometimes, like, "oh I'm so embarrassed about the amount of coke I did" but then he seems to really relish telling the sordid details. He's an unrelenting attention whore and never fails to drum this into the reader - yes, we know that you're an idiot, yep and annoying too - but he reminds us of this every few pages. However, even though it was interesting and Steve-O has loveable qualities, he's too complex to love completely. ![]() if there wasn't video footage in the form of Jackass, Wildboyz and his earlier videos then you'd probably struggle to believe that much of it was true. Obviously a fascinating memoir because this dude has lived ten million times the amount of excitement than most people. ![]() You are a survivor.Īrgh mixed emotions on this one. Steve, if you ever read this, I hope you're able to stay clean and find some peace, find love, and feel great about yourself. Steve admits his failings openly, and the one thing I really wanted to do during, and after, reading this was just give him a big hug and tell him he's awesome for who he is, not what he's done. I've never read about such deep drug use without heroin thrown into the mix before. This memoir is an honest unflinching look into his spiral into addiction, narcissism, the dark sides of fame, and near suicide or death from drug use. My choice was to try become the "perfect" child (and feel like crap when this failed), his coping mechanism was to scream "LOOK AT ME!" in every way possible. It is a completely honest, heartbreaking story about a kid who had a childhood a whole lot like mine, actually - feeling invisible due to a narcissistic parent, an alcoholic parent, and an absent father, moving all the time. I always have had a soft spot in my heart for Steve-O as he seemed to take his stunts so seriously. As an old skate punk, I knew of these guys back in the day from Thrasher and Big Brother Magazine. I will admit it - one of my guilty pleasures is Jackass.
