Just a great book in general to read. Fantastic stories even if you aren't a big wrestling fan. If you grew up watching WWF in the 80s and 90s it just takes you back to your childhood. Bret has just lived an amazing life in and out of the ring.

Great book with some fascinating and uplifting stories. The stories and discourses are dated, and not always politically correct based on modern sensitivities, but charming and uplifting. I learned a great deal and left inspired to be better. I will revisit this book in the future as it's worth another read.

Hopefully that's helpful.

Fantastic! What an amazing life lived/traveled! The way it's written is almost like hearing the author telling his adventures out loud instead of me reading them myself. A thoroughly enjoyable, colorful and easy read.

Michael Moore's stories are the proof that is isn't necessary to live in NYC or L.A. in order to have a fascinating life and meet all kinds of people, including Hollywood movie producers, national-level politicians and even the nephew of the president of the USA.

This book of stories details Michael Moore's experiences with everything from exorcisms to abortions.  These stories really run the gamut from tragic to laugh out loud funny.

After reading this book, I did gain a new appreciation for Michael Moore and his work.  His stories are well-written, insightful and touching.

Once again Mr. Burroughs writing talents shines in this collection of stories that make me laugh out loud at times.  He has a unique insight about life and all of its,and his, foibles.  There are stories about his personal life like unfounded health scares, his work as an ad writer for an  advertising agency and his dating escapades.  I first read his "Running with Scissors" (which was made into a movie w/Annette Benning which I haven't seen yet) and then my second read of his, "A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father" which was so interesting regarding his strained relation with his University professor father whom he called "Dead" and with his Massachusetts accent, it was close enough to "Dad".  I may be prejudiced as I am a sucker for short stories, but even his regular full length novels are real page turners.

This is a wonderful collection of stories. Some are funny ("The New All True CV," "Roger Weber Would Like To Stay"), some are not ("The First Wife," "Beach Vacation"). "Older Sister" is an especially strong story that I won't soon forget. But all the stories here are filled with heart and humanity, which is pretty much true of anything Christine Sneed writes.

'Sowing My Quaker Oats' are the fascinating stories of his life written down by Armin Saeger. The author, born into a Quaker family, vividly and touchingly described several periods of his long life. So vividly, that one can almost hear the sounds of the milkwagons and the iron-wheeled streetcars of Philadelphia of the 1930s. It is always fascinating to follow the life of another human, but this one is particularly moving. Recommended!

This is really an amazing book!!!! Three continents, three different stories. The life stories themselves are amazing. Also, because of her sociological perspective, her opinions toward different culture, education, children and parenting are so profound. I was attracted to this book and I cannot help telling my friends that this is such a wonderful book! I admire the writer have such amazing life experience...

If you are open minded about such true tales, the details of Omm Sety, her life, her accomplishments, and her spirit life are fantastic and interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to some glimpses into a possible interpretation of life in ancient Egypt.

As a lawyer, it is hard to know what to expect from such an author. Yet, his stories provide a fascinating picture of how God can lead us on an adventure full of joy and love, if we are open to going beyond words with our love. It is an easy quick read that urges you to keep reading a few more chapters at a time. You will laugh at some of his mistakes, but also be amazed at some of his unique opportunities that come by being open to follow God and embrace life as it comes. I came away with a number of amazing inspiring quotes as well as a treasure trove of incredible stories worth remembering. Read this, you will not be disappointed.
(I received this book from the publisher and do not need to give a positive review)

These true stories are wonderful. They're short, we'll crafted, and very moving. I highly recommend this book, especially if you're a fan of This American Life.
