Cheating Death - Living Large

Not eloquently written, but full of many details about Travis that most people wouldn't know. The in depth recollection of his past put on paper really brings it to life for the reader. Much more respect for Travis as a drummer and a human being after reading this!

An emotional roller coaster especially if you are a life long fan of blink and Travis Barker. I laughed, I cried. I learned new information. I appreciate Mr. Barker and his craft more than ever. I highly recommend this book. I can't say enough or express my emotions clearly. You will have to experience for yourselves.

One of the coolest biographies I've ever read. Travis Barker holds nothing back and does't try to hide behind a false impression of who he is. He is explicitly real, tells it how it is, and gives you an extremely intimate and personal look into his life.

Great read! I was obsessed with Blink back in middle school, but my fear of flying brought me to this boom. I never knew how much he'd been through, but now I'm a total fangirl again. Definitely reading it again.

I'd definitely recommend this book.. I couldn't put it down! I have a lot of respect for Travis and what he does after reading this. I enjoyed getting to know him and his life through this memoir. The book has short excerpts of people in his life and their perspective of situations, which made an interesting read.

In this book, he addresses Blink 182 and Tom leaving the band. He addresses the plane crash. His drug use and sex life. His passions, his children, his brands, all the projects he's worked on. DJ AM's death. His reality show and ex wives. Overall, it's a real solid read that makes me wish I had the man's work ethic.

very very good book god was watching over travis and a good dad your the greatest im 65 years but in the past I watched his show and really admired him as a really good husband and father didn't know he was from Fontana ca my oldest son is his age and we lived in Baldwin park ca then moved to up north to redding in 1992 cause of gangs but my son went back and got shot and killed age 19 still have that hole in my heart forever. good luck to your life you deserve it and much more. god bless you and your mary

of the three recent r n r autobiographies, this one i liked the least, most likely because Travis and his last wife were kind of sleazy i thought.

i have respect for the guy, he loves his kids, is clean, hard working and fundamentally a good person, but unless you are a huge Blink 182 fan, give it a pass.
