They thought it would be fun to read the book, knowing the man who wrote it had a more than a few skeletons in his closet. What they didn't expect was a rollercoaster ride of adultery, confession, suspected murder, revenge, sexism and endless jaw dropping accounts of a man who continues to lead a colourful life.
