Book Reviews of American on Purpose: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot
Book Review: "We prepare for glory by failing until we don't"
Summary: 5 Stars
So many failures he experienced along the way, but glory he did achieve. Craig Ferguson tells all and spares no details in his memoir. Granted, he admits some of the details may be altered or untrue, but when you're a black-out alcoholic for 20-ish years, what do you expect? You write what you remember, whether it really happened that way or not...
This book makes you laugh and breaks your heart, sometimes in the same chapter. You get a rare look into the soul of a man who's lived hard, repented, and got a shot at redemption, which he did not take for granted. It's inspiring, it's depressing, it's one of the most honest books I've ever read. I hope you continue to write more books, Mr. Ferguson, because if they're as good as the first 2 you've written, I'll eat them up as soon as they're on the shelves. Well done, sir, and i eagerly await your next publication.
