The book is filled with a couple dozen short stories some about Mike’s life and some about very interesting people in history and it’s perfect for short rides to and from work. Highly recommended

Mike Rowe tells stories like no other. He has a way with words that just capture my interest no matter the subject. 35 chapters just wasn't enough. I need more.

Love it! I could listen to Mike read the dictionary and he would make it entertaining!

After the absolute shit show of 2020, I thought it was fitting to take a mental health break from current events. This was just what the doctor ordered. Light hearted, entertaining, and chalked full of random trivia presented in short story form. I encourage you to treat yourself to this. Maybe even take a road trip just to have the uninterrupted time to listen to it all in a day!

It was enjoyable to learn facts about people I was familiar with and be introduced to new names. It's always fun to see if you can guess who the subject is before Mike lets you know their name. The short chapter format is perfect for walks, workouts and short drives.I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Mike row the father we all wanted or the man who reminds us of our father. Wholesome hardworking humble well-spoken BUY THE BOOK YOU WONT REGRET IT

Paul Harvey rest of the story is special to us all. Rowe takes it a step further. truly enjoyed it and read by author was bonus. which is why a harveybook when you read it you heard his cadence and delivery.

Wish this were a little longer. I truly enjoyed listening to this book. It was done too soon. Glad I have found his podcasts to hear more.

this is a great book.fun to try to figure out the famous person but the personal tie-in he does for each story is the best!

Just the kind of book that I will come back and listen to more than once, even if only for the enjoyment of listening to Mike Rowe’s endless stories told through his own soothing voice.

Excellent work as expected. Enjoyed every story and how they were told. Mike has never failed to make me laugh.

I loved every single bit of this book, all the stories and tales in it was awesome.

Mike Rowe is a wonderful story teller! His factual stories, interesting musings and quick wit are a recipe for entertaining listening. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Thank you!

loved this book. loved mike rowes voice.really disliked the russians sending the dog into space.

I frequently get bored with many books before the end but not this highly entertaining read. It helps if you have seen Mike's shows and like him and the sound of his vice.The structure of this book, 30 some independent chapters/stories, where the listener tries to determine the chapter's subject before the chapter end reveal, kept me engaged.

Listened to on a road trip.It was very enjoyable and provided some great stories and much needed laughter.

Mike was born to do this.You won’t be disappointed if you get this and listen to it.

Paul HarveyVin Scully Mike RoweThree voices that have massaged my ear drums my entire life. Thanks Mike for all the work you do for the hard working an often forgotten and chided members of this country.

Extremely entertaining and very well read. Not only kept my interest the whole time, but I often made my husband listen to and guess the famous person being described. Highly recommended!

I think this is the book that I will suggest to every man who asks me, “Got any reading suggestions?” It was like sitting with Mike Rowe and hearing him tell fantastic stories near a cozy fire.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this to be a book of short stories of all kinds of people. Personal stories from Mike Rowe, background stories of celebrities and a few of the most iconic figures you never knew. I was initially put off that every story is told in a way to hide the subject to allow for a “big reveal”. He often makes it seem as if he’s talking about something else only to completely change course at the end. Eventually, I learned to listen intently each time to try to guess what he could mean and how he could be trying to hide the ending. It made the stories more engaging although there were times I wished he had just gotten to the point. However, it was definitely worth it. Mike Rowe has a voice that’s easy to listen to and the short stories make it easy to pause in between listens. The stories are interesting and I found myself sharing them with family and friends later because they stuck. I highly recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I grew up fascinated by the occasional Rest of the Story by Paul Harvey and this collection by Mike Rowe takes those types of stories up another level. It is a thought provoking and inspirational listen.It is so much more than just repeats or some dirty job stories. Just really put together well.

A mix of short stories and life experiences. A good book you can finish in a day.

this is a wonderful book that really brings the reader in. The stories Mike shares are amazing and helps put life in perspective.

This book was amazing, it’s so insightful and inspiring. Mike Rowe has a fascinating story with top notch humor. I would recommend this book to all ages and genders.

As a kid, I remember listening to Paul Harvey and true to his word, Mike Rowe delivered a wonderful compilation of little known facts laced with personal tales that was very reminiscent of “The rest of the story.” Highly entertaining, and always love Rowe’s baritone delivery.
