More Biography than anything else

The first half of the book is him talking extremely briefly about various childhood topics, and I'll be honest he isn't very funny. The back 10ish chapters saved it for me but honestly if he wasn't coming to talk on campus I would have put it down at 50 pages. More of a "my life story" than anything else
