Stephen "steve-O" GloverCritiques

A HARD KICK IN THE NUTS, by Stephen "Steve-O" Glover, is so much more than wild tales of Glover's truly unique and crazy life. Those stories are great and Glover has a quick wit and funny approach in his recounting of those events. Glover ruminates on the good, bad, and insane choices he has made over the years and considers why he made those choices, were they the correct choices, and what did he take away from those choices.
When you pick a book written by a guy known for crazy stunts and a ridiculous zest for life, you know you are going to get some great stories and this book doesn't disappoint. Glover also looks at smaller moments in his life and how they impacted him. It could be a single sentence in an interview or a chance meeting at an event, but Glover really digs deep into moments that changed him and made him grow as a person. He is also very quick to admit that while he is giving out advice based on his life, he still is a perpetual work in progress and not a individual to look up to or admire. He sees his faults and recognizes that often he gets in his own way when trying to grow as a person.
While I read A HARD KICK IN THE NUTS because I am a fan of Stephen "Steve-O" Glover and all of his antics, I came away from the book looking a life just a little bit different knowing that there is deep spirit behind his unstable exterior.
