Mr. McCane
A friend gifted me this book because of my love for memoirs. I’ve lost a lot of love for Tiffany Haddish over the years because of the terrible 2014 comedy sketch with Aries Spears titled “Through a Pedophile’s Eyes.” Despite that, I thought I would give it a shot. I even purchased the audiobook so I could hear it in her own voice.
This book came out in 2017, a few months after the release of the movie Girls Trip. I can say there were some heartbreaking moments, and I laughed twice. She had a tough childhood, and I admire how she stayed true to herself. However, I would be lying if I didn’t say there were more cringey moments than anything else.
After reading a lot of other people’s reviews, I can see that the Roscoe joke pissed many people off. (She basically made fun of a physically disabled person for an entire chapter.) But for me, that wasn’t what bothered me the most. She came across as very immature and a little annoying.
I didn’t hate the book, but I damn sure didn’t love it. In this memoir, she promised to lay it all out and tell it all. However, she failed to mention anything about engaging in the sexual exploitation and grooming of minors. I couldn’t wait for it to end. I say let’s meet in the middle. Two and a half stars.
