Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for allowing me to read and review this book.

An enjoyable biography from the lead singer of a band I loved as a teenager. Great read for anyone who is/was a fan of Blink 182.

I'm a huge blink 182 fan so this book was a treat from start to finish. It was very fun getting to learn more about the band and their trials and tribulations over the years, along with Mark's own personal journey. An enjoyable read for a blink fan, no question!

Blink-182’s founding member Mark Hoppus reflects, how it wasn’t always so easy breezy California livin’. He chronicles his parents divorce, his rise to fame and how things did change for the better.

I love a good memoir even more so when it's narrated by the person them selves. Growing up when Blink 182 was in their prime this gave wonderful insight into the behind the scenes.

I've been a Blink-182 fan since the days of Dude Ranch. Mark Hoppus has served as the backbone of the band and his stories about his life and the genesis of the band are very interesting. I had no idea "Carousel" was created first.

Even if you maybe don't consider yourself a "fan" of blink-182 I think this book is still a good read. It's a pretty true snapshot of the times and I found Mark Hoppus had some very insightful things to say. I'm a pretty casual blink fan, definitely not a super fan, and I'm really glad I read it.

I have always liked Blink 182. It was nice to hear about Mark's journey before the band and then when they got together. There were some things that I had already known from being a fan, but this book tells so much more of the story. It makes me want to hear more of their stories and see the band play a show. It is a really good read for people who are fans of the bands and people who have no idea really about the great musician.

Oh that was a good audiobook. The bands he talked about in the 80s & 90s got me fondly going back through my music collection again for the stuff I listened to when I was a kid. My friends and coworkers (so many music nerds work in libraries) heard about how good this book was as I read it, and I know quite a few of them are looking forward to getting their hands on a copy.
