American on Purpose

American on Purpose by Craig Ferguson


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book touched me and I laughed out loud several times which means it was really well written. I can't say that I was a huge fan of Craig Ferguson's but I will pay more attention to him now. He told a different story of a path to success that took him places he never expected or even dreamed of. It was remarkable that he was able to overcome his alcolholism and achieve the success he has.

One of my favorite critics at Entertainment Weekly raves about him on an almost weekly basis, so I have to say I was curious about what's so great about this guy. It turns out that he worked really hard to get to where he is and he has a funny, creative mind. I know that it takes at least that to be a late night host.

The book had some really sad parts, but he never let the lows get too low or the highs too high. I imagine that he is a great guy to have as a friend. I hope to read his novel one day also.
