Meh, lacks substance

I was quite looking forward to this book. Having finished it, it feels quite phoned-in. Most of the stories and what is told is already widely available online and widely known. I was hoping to get more insight into the creative process, perhaps get some comments from Mark on some of the songs and the process behind them besides the main singles. Some parts feel rushed. For example, why talk about Modlife yet ignore talking about how the Untitled album writing process was streamed/casted? The Skiba period feels rushed and there was no mention of its creative process besides trying to justify hiring writers. I feel this book could have been written by someone with access to Wikipedia, Reddit and a couple of Blink fan sites.
Appreciated marks honesty

I knew most of what was written here from reading internet stories, but hearing it in Mark's words was refreshing. It has a personal touch that feels like a conversation between friends where one friend does all the talking and its most Weener and fart jokes
Amazing

After reading Sell Out and loving it, I was excited to see Dan Ozzi was tasked with putting this together. In 1996 at the age of 16 I drove my 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme from my Hometown of Tustin CA to “The Barn” at UC Riverside to see Blink. Pre Travis, pre 182. This book brought me back to all those times I saw them play.
Must read for any blink-182 fan

This book was everything I had hoped for and more. Listening to blink since Dude Ranch, they are my favorite band. Several times throughout reading this book I laughed out loud. Mark’s humor is exactly what you expect and want. The raw and vulnerable side is emotional and moving. Thank you Mark.
