This was a great read. It was humourous, because of his book “Bud Caldwell’s Rules and Things for Having a funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself, yet it still manages to be one of those serious books. I would definitely rate this book the highest ratisng possible, it was worth the read. I would definitely recommend his book to anyone who is looking for a good read, there is so much more to the story than what I wrote. You only need to remember one thing, it’s Bud, not Buddy.
