I've been a semi fan of Adam's for years. I grew up listening to KROQ in LA and remember when he and Jimmy Kimmel were on the Kevin and Bean Show. He devotes the first part of the book to his formative years in the San Fernando Valley as white trash. I grew up in Simi Valley (near by) as white trash, so I could relate. Good times....
Anyway, he then goes on to basically rant about what he calls the 'pussification' of the men in this country. Sadly, he's right. We have become pussies as technology has advanced. We let others do our dirty work for us. This section of the book is surprisingly thought provoking while being pretty damn funny.
The last third of the book isn't as good. Feels a lot like random bitching to fill pages. It's all right, but not great. Oh yeah Adam, and by the way, maybe you shouldn't be bragging quite so much about being a rich guy in the middle of a recession. Just saying.
This is an entertaining and at times well thought out piece. You won't agree with everything he says, but at least you'll probably laugh while thinking about what an asshole he is.
