The book is a kind of actor's memoirs. He tells the story of his childhood, 20s, and 30s years of life, sharing some stories about his career and personal life. About his “greenlights” and “redlights”.
In general, it was not bad. I really enjoyed the part about McConaughey's early years. All the stories about his father were simultaneously funny, controversial, and instructive.
But the other part—about his life as an adult, I didn't find quite impressive. There was too much preaching, and some facts were even a little unbelievable, as for me.
And I also didn't read it, but listened, because I knew that Matthew had narrated it by himself, so I wanted to hear the book from the author's mouth. However, I was truly disappointed—too much acting for my taste.
It would be fascinating to hear your thoughts about this book. Did you find it interesting? What part did you like the most? Does anybody share my opinion?
