But I finally picked it up. I think my preconceived notions got in the way in the first few pages, but after that it sucked me in. I loved it.Martin was honest and thoughtful and the story of his rise to fame was fascinating. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/42410?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
