Weird, crazy and a lot of fun. Honestly I didn’t know what to expect when starting this Audiobook. I’m a massive fan of Doc and all of his content so I was very excited when he announced this memoir. It was bonkers to say the least, but what must be acknowledged is that this is a memoir from The Doc persona and not from Guy, making this more of a fiction than a real biography. That’s not entirely a bad thing but it needs considering as you strap yourself in for the violence, speed and momentum of this audiobook.

Simply put, you either love or hate him. I love him, so I loved the majority of this book. The over-the-top descriptions and ramblings are what make the Doc, Doc. I really enjoyed the multiple origin stories and the chapters about growing the perfect mullet, the poisonous Ethiopian caterpillar and what makes the perfect flip phone.

However taking things a little more seriously for a second, I did find myself losing interest in some of the fictional story parts towards the end, mostly because it got a bit too random and weird. Also I know audiobooks are always read slower and the speed can be adjusted, but I felt his delivery lacked the spark and energy that we’re used to seeing live. Probably no fault of his own, I just missed the elements of surprise, the rages, the voice cracks, the singing…

In the end, as an entertaining depiction of the Doc this memoir was excellent but as a work of fiction it wasn’t that great, despite still having some very fun moments. I think certain things could have been done better and I wonder if one day Guy will produce another for the man behind the mullet.

Firm handshakes nonetheless!
