I have to admit that reading a memoir of someone you've never heard of is probably not a great idea, but it sounded like it could be funny, so I put in for the First-Reads giveaway, which I was lucky enough to win.

The book was good enough. I never dreaded opening it, or groaned that "I can't wait to be done with this book," but I was never dying to crack it open, either. The collection of anecdotes about Mr. Hill's life are entertaining, but rarely laugh-inducing. The chapter at the end is touching, but kind of an odd way to end the book, in my opinion.

If you're a fan of Dave Hill and his comedy (or rock and roll prowess), then you may really appreciate his stories and delivery. It's not even that I wouldn't recommend anyone take a flier on it like I did, just don't expect to be floored by what you read.
