Elliot…needed a ghost writer to clean it up just a little bit in some spots for grammar etc. 

I think the writing on this one does a great disservice on the life story Elliot is trying to share with us. While it was easily digestible and I wanted to keep following Elliot’s story, the timeline jumps make it jumbled and it was hard for me to focus on the story. However, that was probably also because I was driving and working while listening to the audiobook. So i was distracted. I want to emphasize that the time like jumps didn’t affect the story. I just needed to keep rewinding and give Elliot the attention he deserved. 

Elliot’s narration of the audiobook comes off very dull and monotone. If I didn’t know it was Elliot, I would’ve thought it was AI. 

I hope that he talked to Kate about all of the details he mentioned on their relationship (edit she was mentioned in the acknowledgements, but I'd be interested to know if she knew he was going to put this much detail in).

Sadly this joins the long list of celeb memoirs that didn’t work for me as much as I wish  it did!

I also wish the editor would’ve told Elliot to remove so many mentions of excrement. That was weird and unnecessary at every mention. 

I still recommend picking this one up, but if you like me need a through line in memoirs with well connected time jumps - maybe skip it OR listen to the audio when you can focus on it alone.
