Mike Magnuson

Once I got past the author's early life screwups with alcohol and a lack of commitment, I liked this story, a lot. I liked the writing style. A bit of a wacky tale, but well told.

I added this to my collection so that I have all of Mike's books, but it is well written. Mike is knowledgable and his passion for biking helps this be a informative book.

authentic voice and dialogue realistic portayal of an antihero

Mike's experiences are outrageous and things I have never heard anyone else do. yet they are uniquely Wisconsin as well. I loved this book. He tells great stories and does so in a tone that really made me feel like I was there with him. He does not hold back and is brutally honest about what he did and why he did them.

If you had any sort of wayward youth, I recommend this book. His stories are ones that you won't forget.
