I would have given this book a 3 star if he'd tone down the crassness a little. But this book should be given a 1 star for the complete and utter disrespect he flippantly throws around of not only his fans, his friends, and his family but most especially to women in general. I'm not someone who usually gets bent out of shape about this topic. I notice it but it's not my soapbox. However, David would just. not. let it. go. I GET it! Women are objects who threaten your ego... lay off a little. Jesus. He even mentions that half his followers/fans are female. Not sure he knows what that means when it comes to who will be reading his book. No tact whatsoever. I was a fan of his before this. Not a huge fan, but I liked him. Now... he's just so unsavory to me. He talks about social media being the worst for him because it was so much easier for him to be caught cheating and lying. He plays it off like the fact that he's an unfaithful lowlife is not his problem but the fact that he gets caught doing it that is the real issue. Which is all just such a shame because if it wasn't for his complete lack of personality and kindness there was a lot of interesting parts to his book. I was fascinated by a lot of his struggles and goals, his up and downs, I even laughed a few times. But it's completely undercut by his disregard for the people around him–unless its someone he is intimidated by (which he confuses for respect). Then he's pretty careful to mention how great they are.
Overall, I really wanted to like this but by the end I put the audiobook on 2X the speed desperately ready to put this book, and Dave, forever out of my life.
