It was okay. A little heavy on the religious stuff and if you're not of the same belief system he is, it can be overwhelming to have God on almost every page. I was hoping for more antics of his time at Hallmark, but all it really seemed to be about was him not being accepted for the smart person he was. As for his sexual frustrations, that was pretty jarring. I understand the book is a memoir, but I really didn't need to know about the blow jobs and hookers.

Mixed bag here - I liked the parts focusing on work, and his search for identity ("fitting in" in general); the details of his sexual angst, not so much. I'd be quite interested in reading a sequel focusing on his more recent experiences.
