Exceeded All Expectations

I’m not one to turn to celebrity memoirs but as McConaughey says (in a much saucier and more rhythmic manner) in the intro, this book is much more than that. Yes, he recounts life anecdotes, but they serve to inform the life lessons he’s sharing with us. Let’s just say this book was a greenlight.

Humbling

Title: Greenlights Author: Matthew McConaughey Release Date: October 20th, 2020 Page Count: 288 Format: Audiobook Start Date: June 19th, 2022 Finish Date: June 26th, 2022 Rating: 5 Stars Review: I really love books like these. You get to know the person better. It humanizes the celebrity. I think that's really needed. I would have never thought that he could have had a rough life. It's so easy to forget that they lived normal lives before they became successful. He narrated the book himself. Which was also nice. I'm not really sure what else to say about this book. I feel like I'd like to go back and actually read it one day. I'd like to get a physical copy for myself to have on my shelf. I definitely have a lot of respect for McConaughey. He's one of the celebrities I'd be happy to meet one time. I think he'd be very nice.

Alright x3

I purchased the book and read through it, thoroughly enjoyed it. Went back and purchased the Audiobook read by Matthew himself, far better. Do yourself a favor and read this.

Incredibly funny and philosophical-Must Read

A friend sent a post of his book to me a few weeks back and simply because I like how Matthew talks, I made a deal that I would read it. Matthew gets incredibly personal without over sharing the most cherished parts of himself. But as a reader you still feel like you are being given enough to know him. His grit and tenacity is vigorously displayed throughout his book. There are plenty of stories told in true southern fashion, and enough one-liners that will have you saying “that is so good.”

A very enjoyable read

I was attracted to this book because…After following Matthew McConaughey’s career, this book was a natural read. This book was about…An enjoyable memoir of Matthew’s life and career. There are pieces of his life I already knew, but the book filled in the gaps and brought many new features to light. A remarkable tale of his family, career and life. Things I liked about this book…The amount of notes Matthew has kept through his life. This is more remarkable knowing much of his adult life has been lived in an Airstream. Why you should read this book… Anyone who has ever said or wore the t-shirt, “allright, allright, allright” should read this book. It is an inspiring tale of personal growth.
