Comments

Jewel M. Hudson: This is an unapologetic account of one man's journey and a decision he made that changed the trajectory of his life. The transparency of the story should be valuable information for others as they find themselves in a similar situation.

Me and my mother have a Book group that consists of just us two. Every month I send her 3-4 books and she usually breezes through them if she likes them, if she doesn't like them it will take her weeks to get through them. She read this book in a matter of 2 days. She told me there were moments her neighbors would look at her as she laughed uncontrollably loud as she read on her front porch.

She knew of Mike Epps but never really followed him. Once she picked up the book she remembered the movies she's seen him in.

This book deserves a 5 star rating and MORE as it's kept my mom happy and laughing over the past week. Thank you Mike!!! and also, we love the new show on Netflix - The Upshaws.

Kindle Customer: I have always been a fan of Mike so when I came across his book, I couldn't wait to read it. Everyone has a story and it was great getting to read his and learn about his upbringing and rise to stardom. The close relationship he has with his mom and siblings is a beautiful thing. The book was a easy read, heartfelt, and funny!

Passionate Book Reader: Mike Epps is one of the funniest comedians of today. He is one crazy dude! The book was well-written and very honest. We follow Mike from childhood to adulthood to his success as a Comedian. Mike grows up in the tough streets of "naptown" and becomes a drug dealer, a drug user, and an unwed father all at an early age. Sadly, his drug abuse hindered him from many opportunities, but also I believe Mike has low self-esteem. Even when he becomes famous, he struggles with accepting his fame. He also has trust issues. I think he could benefit from a psychological evaluation. I believe Mike has come a long way, but he could have much more success if he believed in himself and not allowed fear to stumble him. Not just success as a Comedian but better success in life in general, starting with himself and battling his vices.

I gave the book 4-stars because towards the end it was overly preachy and we as readers didn't really need the lengthy explanation as to why he is the way he is, we can see and understand that.

Other than that, I enjoyed the book.
