No matter if you are the outdoors type or not this book is funny. Out of all all his books this one is best since he tells of the characters of his youth, plus a little embellishments. Also makes fun of himself most of the time which he is supremely talented at. WOuld also recomend the audio version which gives a touch of humorous sound to the funny words.

This review is from: How I Got This Way (Paperback)

Patrick McManus with his hilarious stories make kids and
grownups feel write at home. In his book "How I Got this
way" he will make you laugh until you shed tears of joy,
and read the stories to all your friends and family.
This book is so funny I rate it a perfect 10 and I wish I
could rate it higher because this book and all the other
books he has written are some of the best books I've read.
He is one of my favorite authors. If you start reading this
or any of Patrick McManus's books you will not be
able to put it down. Happy readings

I have read all but one of Patrick McManus's books and love them all. This one is just as funny as the others. The things he writes about remind me of stories my own father would tell me about his misadventures growing up. If you love hunting, fishing, camping, and/or the outdoors in general, you'll like this book. OK, even if you hate the outdoors, you will still find this book funny.
