PJ reveals himself as much more thoughtful than I would have expected, given his blowhard persona. He writes very well, and he can be funny, but he seems to be prone to exaggeration. Many of his personal anecdotes sound more like excerpts from a novel, and are tough to accept at face value. I feel like I know more about him now, but I don't feel like I know him better, if you see what I mean.

The chapters are arranged in no particular order, but they seem to roughly alternate between articulate expressions of a personal world view and wacky episodes where he somehow ends up naked at some point. Readers who are easily offended, or more importantly who do not enjoy being offended, may find it rough going.

PJ can't be accused of slanting the book to make himself look better, since he comes across mostly as obnoxious and only marginally likeable. My own strongest reaction to the book was a desire to read more about (and preferably by) his partner Teller.
