Joe Trohman most definitely rocks
A deeply revelling memoir. Joe delves deep into himself and his past. In his own words he delivers a wonderfully authentic look into his life within and out with Fall Out Boy without being disparaging towards his bandmates. Highly recommend reading.

Great storyteller
I am a 61 year old, guitar playing, casual fan of Fall out Boy.(been to one concert). I enjoy rock memoirs and this one is great. Trohman is very funny, very honest , and paints a clear picture of who he is and his position in his group and in life. Very entertaining.

None of this rocks
This book brought up feelings in me that I can't even explain, but, in summary, I guess I could say: respect for who Joe is and what he has done. But to be a little egocentric, it also made me feel secure and hopeful. I can't even count how many times I felt seen. It's somehow a wonderful feeling knowning that someone who you admire is as wrecked as you.At the same time, it made me respect fall out boy (and admire them and love the songs) even more. I didn't even know that was possible.Also, I have to say this is just so well written and constructed, such amazing storytelling, that I felt like I was sucked into his world.If you're a fall out boy fan, or overall enjoyer, you have to read this. This is the history of an amazing person, who is far from perfect, and it's Impossible to not feel inspired. He's been one my biggest inspirations for a long time and this book made me admire him more and more.So, read it. Not just because of Fall out boy's guitarist, also for the human behind that sick guitar riffles.

Joe Trohman, the man you are ;^;
I didn't expect to love this as much as I did. I was genuinely taken aback by how honest he was in this book and how good a writer he is. This is more than worth a read whether you're a Fall Out Boy/The Damned Things fan or not.(Also definitely check The Damned Things out if you haven't already because they're GREAT.)

All of this rocked, couldn't put it down
I've spent the better part of two decades as an avid fan, I guess. A diehard, if you will. Hopefully that won't discredit my sincere appreciation of this work and its author. It's like waiting to listen all this time to a voice you know you needed to hear, but never had the chance. I know I'm (always) late to the party, but I couldn't put this book down. I think that's the beauty of your/& yall's life's work: you speak to those of us who otherwise never found our voices. We could see ourselves through you. And, by talking about mental health, propelling the distigmatization movement that's happening today. I for one had quite a chaotic upbringing, and oftentimes found comfort and happiness with this band that was a constant in my life no matter what happened. It might seem silly, but it's true, it's wild to think back on how much I've grown in this time--and also realize I've been here the whole time. The shows are like coming home. It's beautiful to have read this story and I guess have it all click as to why I've related so hard all these years. The world best comes together when we all learn to bare our souls once in a while.p.s. I need to stfu but for the record I liked Folie and may or may not have started fights in the pit and been banished to the seats. Fckem.We love you back.♡M
