I listened to the audiobook of this and I think that’s only reason why I was able to finish it. I don’t think I would have if I read it in print. 

This is for many reasons. 

1) I like Matthew Perry’s voice and he read it well. I felt compelled to keep listening whereas I don’t think I would have cared as much if I read it. 

2) He was very repetitive. I felt like I heard the same thing over & over again (and that’s not because many of the same things happened to him).
3) He was all over the place in terms of a timeline. He’d jump ahead in his story, then backtrack. It was very hard to figure out where we were while listening to him
4)I didn’t like the way he talked about women - whether it was just women in his sphere or those he slept with and/or dated. It rubbed me the wrong way. 

I did like how brutally honest he was when speaking about his addictions. I felt for him, I really did. I’m sad he ultimately never got what he needed but at the same time, at least he’s no longer struggling.  He fought for as long as he could. 

I’m conflicted saying bad things about this, because he was struggling with addition, and  especially since he recently passed away. But this did not resonate with me because of how all over the place it was. I truly hope this story helps someone. I know he ultimately wanted to help people.
