Oh. My. STARS. I don't know what I expected when I picked this up, but I know it was far from what I got! This book was INCREDIBLE. I listened to the audiobook and I highly recommend that if you're an audio person, because Matthew could read a dictionary to me and I'd be enthralled LOL. But hearing his family and friends come to life in his voice was truly special.

He has lived SUCH a fascinating life, in just the first 50 years, that it's truly astounding. I laughed out loud multiple times, and my jaw hung open in a NO WAY fashion most of the other times. But what I loved was that, by the end of it all, I felt inspired to go out and live life to the fullest. It was a great book!
