Loved it! 😍

Funny. Sad. Horrifying. Interesting. Thought-Provoking. Insightful. Disturbing. Controversial. Not your typical autobiography.

From the excerpts read by Jesse Watters on Fox News's "The Five", I thought this book would be funny from start to finish.

Jesse takes us through the ups and downs of his career. For the first part of his career, he chased down judges, politicians, celebrity newsmakers, and more. His aim was to get the persued to explain their decisions and statements - all public knowledge.

What disturbed me the most were the judges who gave light sentences or no jail time to violent rapists, murderers, and pedophiles.

In the middle of his Fox News career, he did man-on-the-street interviews. As he recalled some of these, they were funny, weird, and appalling at times.

For the latest part of Jesse's career, he talks about his time on "The Five" and on his weekly show "Watters World." We get some behind-the-scenes information on his most frequent co-hosts - Dana Perino, Gregg Gutfield, and Juan Williams. One of the funniest parts of the book is the chapter on his mom's text messages. Jesse has conservative views. His mom is a liberal. Through her repeated efforts to correct, scold, or reason with her son, her love for him always shows through.
