I tried to read this book I received as a gift from a family member. I could not handle the author's ego nor the topics he was so cavalierly discussing. Here's an example, on religion: "basically there was nothing I liked about going to church. I didn't like to get dressed up in church clothes. Most of the men at church came across as pussies anyway, and I didn't want to be associated with them." Also, "It's like the writers of the Bible had a competition to see who could sell the biggest lie: virgin birth, walking on water, controlling weather, water to wine, feeding multitudes with a couple of fish and a scrap of bread, coming back from the dead. Seriously?" Well, seriously, this guy is such a prat I really couldn't care less about his being a fighter pilot, which is referred to ad nauseum, or his fight against the Grim Reaper. I just had to stop.

I fought and worked with Cowboy for many years. The book was fantastic. I had a hard time putting it down.
