5 out of 5 stars Great book, whether you agree with him or not   July 27, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I stumbled across this book while looking for Trace's music. I had no idea he had written a book. Based on the summary and excerpts on the main Amazon page, I was intrigued enough that I had to read it. I was pleasantly surprised! No one likes to be underestimated, but I'm sure Trace is always hearing people say that they're surprised at how well-spoken and smart he is. He's a self-proclaimed history buff and he seems to really keep up on current affairs, too.
Though Trace is a conservative and I'm pretty liberal, I still respect the opinions he expresses because they seem to be well researched. He's wise enough to know that his party, the Republican party, has serious issues. The subject of the war in Iraq comes up frequently throughout the book, and Trace has strong opinions about what has been done wrong in the way we've handled it so far.
Though the book doesn't really claim to be an autobiography, rather a collection of Trace's observations and opinions, I really liked the little stories about his life. Those were my favorite part. If you love Trace's music and want to learn how his music career progressed, that is covered in here, too. And if you're like me, you won't even mind if his opinions and yours don't always gel.



5 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK!!!   July 19, 2008

This was truly an amazing book. Straight and to the point, just the way I like it. Trace has never been one to sugar coat anything, and he did not make any exceptions here. From his family, home, immigration and country, he is very honest on where he stands on all of these issues and more. I caught myself nodding my head in agreement with a majority of what he said, which does not always happen when I read these types of books. I highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking about cracking open the book and taking a peak, you are really going to love it.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Book   July 10, 2008
I so enjoyed reading this book. When I opened it, I didn't put it down until I finished it. I bought the book for my husband's birthday because he is a big Trace Adkins fan. After I read the book, I became one also.

It was a great book. I laughed out loud. It was also sad in some parts. I belong to Trace's fan club. I wanted to read about his life and what he did when he grew up.
