How many of you guys have read Devin's book and what did you think about it?
I'll admit I was a little disappointed, I think Dev is a fascinating, intelligent bloke with a really good outlook on life (I mean, I think it's quite similar to mine). The book was good but I had hoped for more. I have watched loads of interviews and I love how he goes off on tangents and talks about what he is thinking and his view on certain things. I was hoping for more of that, I must say. I mean, I'm sure a lot of people liked the approach he took, I know it's an autobiography and it is expected that he will cover his life story, up to this point. I was hoping that would be like the first half of the book and then we would get the rambling musings of the man. I know that when he gives interviews he may ramble on and actually end up saying things he regrets, or could be taken out of context maybe, and that with a book he can edit out all that sort of thing. But that to me is where all the best bits are, for me, I like his unfiltered, stream of consciousness kind of interviews. All in all that is a difficult thing to put into a book, I liked him explaining where his head was at through certain stages of his life but there was a bit too much of just explaining what was happening at the time (and not enough of his thoughts at the time, or after). With all the drug use there is a good chance that he doesn't remember a great deal of certain periods in his life
but that's just my two cents.
