The saddest thing about this book is that Matthew never seemed to be able to take the chance of being hurt in interpersonal relationships. Whether that came as a result of his early childhood or was just part of his makeup it ruined him. Instead of taking the risk, he drowned his sorrow and pain in getting high. There's a little bit of a hint at the end that maybe he is willing to give it a try but he died before he could do it. I was left with this sense of just a big waste. ( ) Addiction is a “big terrible thing” and I hope that any addicts who pick up a copy might learn they are not alone and that there are resources available to help them. Matthew Perry gives us an overview of his life leading up to the time when he is cast as Chandler Bing in the pilot of the television show most readers know as “Friends.” While we learn about his life between those times when he Is in rehab centers, much of his story is of his struggle with drugs and alcohol. I understand that the fight to come clean is a tough road and imagine that he was every bit as frustrated living this nightmare of repeated addiction as I became by just reading about it. Kudos go to his friends and family members who made the choice to support him in his many efforts to kick the habit. It takes courage to admit to the kind of life Matthew led….drinking and pills made it impossible to develop a lasting romantic relationship with a woman. He is open about sharing how he wanted to marry and have a family, but that he simply could not commit to anyone. I admire his honesty, but as much as I really wanted to get caught up in this memoir, that just did not happen. I really wanted to like this book. Perry was one of my favorite comedy actors early in his career and I was always curious about his story. Unfortunately I feel like he is still struggling with a lot of mental instability here. As I was reading I could help but feel like he was whining a lot, blaming others for a lot of his problems still, and grasping for pity. It’s almost like this was a last ditch effort to keep his name in the spot light, so to speak. It left me feeling sad for him because I don’t think he has really 4th stepped all of his issues (IYKYK). I wish him luck, but I don’t recommend this book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
