Sinking into this book during a night of insomnia I found it eminently readable and enjoyable beginning with the premise that most of what Mr. Baldwin did, he did for money. As I moved further through the book on other nights - and ultimately through to the end - I found he and the stories far less engaging or interesting. In fact, 50% of the book was 4-star worthy; the remainder 3-star territory. Simply put: learning of his present state as a happily married, financially successful father held little interest for me. Although Mr. Baldwin's SNL portrayal of Trump is the comedy of our times, I wasn't interested in what he had to say about politics or politicians despite him holding beliefs similar to my own. The final 25% of the book, as such, was difficult to finish though I did. A good read for 50%, an okay read for the next 25%, and an uninteresting read for the final push... that about sums it up.
