I like Craig Ferguson. I like his show. And I like it when he sometimes takes the time to address something serious. There's just a tone of truth that I find interesting. I purchased this book (audio book, read by Ferguson himself) because I was interested in his account of his alcoholism, and because I find the inside world of comedy and comedians intriguing. He talks first about his childhood in a rough town near Glasgow in Scotland; of his sudden and short trip with his father to NYC; of his first forays into drugs, alcohol, and rock and roll; of his family and his marriages; of his move to the US and start in show business. Obviously, the book is funny at times. Some parts are heavy and some are light. I just really liked the author's take and analysis on various themes that appeared in the book. One example is sectarian violence amongst kids. Another is his decision to always choose adventure over stability.
