I’ve saved the best for last. If my previous description did not capture your attention and make you want to rush out and buy the book, this will. The author of this book is none other than the famous comedian Steve Martin. I was shocked when reading the book that Martin had such a knack for writing. While the book is humorous and touching at the same time; I found it hard to believe that Martin was the author. Also worthy of mention, the book was on the New York Times Best Sellers list. If you are looking for an entertaining quick read, this book would be great for you.
