Having read this before going to his signing (for mr know it all) made me speechless. I love him so much and didn't know what to say lol so just thanked him and had him sign my copy of this.
Role models is such a good read for multiple reasons. Everyone in it is so inspirational; this book has a very easy message to be inspired by the art not the artist because everyone is flawed and that's okay

God I love this book so much. My favorite is that it is split into 3 sections: Best case scenario, worst case scenario, and actual scenario. This is one of the few books that have made me laugh out loud publicly like a crazy person. I don't want to over sell it but I love this book so much.

I didn't like this book. I understand the point and the content but it just irked me. The main character came off predatory to me. I understand he was coping with his identity or whatever but that's not for other people to do for you...
