This was in our Audible library (Hubs purchase) ... Hubs and two of the boys had listened (Hubs and #1 liked it, #3 hated it and wondered why he finished). I've liked Matthew McConaughey, and I think I like him more after listening to the audiobook. The audio was fun, as he's so very distinct in his speech, and here as he presented different parts; it had more impact coming directly from his mouth. I had also picked up a physical copy somewhere, and grabbed the Kindle version. Every format has its pros and cons.

Memoirs are interesting - to see how the individual telling it sets up their story. Do they start in childhood? Keep it chronological? Here, I found it interesting how MM kept the theme of Greenlights throughout the book. And his "bumperstickers" which in text appear as handwritten notes "taped" in, and his "Notes to self" as little typewritten inserts. It was handled well in the audio ... a change in the sound (some say he's yelling portions), but it a little more distinct in the print copy. Although while the handwritten portions really do add a unique touch, they can be a little hard to read (Kindle copy give the option to have these transcribed as text). Quite a few different fonts to add some variety, some GREEN pages, and many pictures, which of course can't be converted to audio (I can't remember if it was mentioned that there was a PDF with these for the audio version). 

MM drops some bombs casually (about being sexually abused, doesn't go into detail) and has a pretty hard childhood with his parents. Stories like this always make me grateful for my own "boring" upbringing and married life. Reading over some of the other reviews, one was disgruntled that while MM addressed Covid and George Floyd, he didn't mention the MeToo movement and had some early disrespect of women. Overall though, especially compared to some other memoirs (Matthew Perry, Prince Harry, Dick VanDyke) I liked his pursuit of ONE woman and family, and staying faithful.

It was interesting to learn a little more about how he got started and how his career progressed, how some roles happened. 

Someone had indicated it was full of proFanity ... and yes, there were 24 f-bombs, which is less than lots of the novels out there. 

A lot of this did just seem to be rambling ... but it kept me interested and entertained and I was glad I'd invested the time listening and looking through the text.
