To enjoy this autobiography, you better like golf or like Bill Murray enough to sit through a lot of talk about golf. If you do, you'll find some very humorous and humble moments inside.

"The job also develops a service personality. Not indentured or slavish, but capable of putting another person's needs first. Do you know what I mean? If you are sick, if you're in trouble, out of your element, someone with more than kindness is needed—someone Samaritan. Someone with the ability More...

I really wish I could give this a higher rating as much as I admire Bill, but the book is about 60% Golf 40% stories outside of that. I loved the stories outside of that, but I don't really know enough about golf to see the full benefit of the rest of the book. Check it out anyway if you're a huge Murray fan, and if you're into golf definitely check it out.

I really do love Bill Murray, and some of his stories were very funny - the book overall was very hard to follow.

I love Bill Murray. I think he's intelligent, articulate, and enthusiastic about life. He's also random, eccentric, and has a wry sense of humor.

This book only reinforced all of those opinions. Along the twisty way, it taught me a bit about golf at the same time.

Not for everyone, the disjointed narrative can be a bit hard to follow (like a lengthy conversation with someone who keeps remembering their own equally interesting tangents)... it's hard to keep all the characte More...

I'll agree with some of the other critics here who say that this book can be a little difficult to follow at times. However, this is Bill Murray, a living genius, so I'm willing to cut him some slack. There are some hilarious moments along the way. And since Mr. Murray hasn't written any other autobiographies, this book did provide some insight into one of pop culture's most enigmatic figures.

I haven't really finished the book. Although I love Bill Murray it's a hard read. He likes to go off on his quirky tangents that are hard to follow. There are funny parts but most of the time I'm trying to remember what the originial story was.

It reads like Bill Murray is talking in his sleep. Occassionally there are some interesting tid bits and insights, but sorry Mr. Murray, not up to par. Still a fan though.

I've no interest in playing or watching golf. But it does inspire some good writing. Or maybe I'm still crushing on the Murray of Ghostbusters.

This book is laid out the same way I would imagine Bill Murray's brain is.

So, to be redundant, its a funny book.
