Inspiring submitted by klickitat on August 20, 2012, 10:47pm Martin wasn't an overnight success. His mantra, like many other performers', is "Perseverance is stronger than talent."
Interesting submitted by DL on August 6, 2016, 6:32am Steve Martain worked a long time at making it into show business, you learn a bit about his early life with his family and early jobs that helped him be the comedian, actor he is today.
Entertaining submitted by cesarel on June 14, 2019, 11:26pm Steve Martin reads the book, and I think that makes it more entertaining. There are nice banjo interludes between sections. The book is surprisingly short.
Very interesting submitted by Helengio on August 25, 2023, 8:53pm A great book and listening to it read by the author makes it all the more special.
