Loved this book
I have listened to all 3 of Jimmy’s books. They are all great, honest , touching and at times hilariously funny.
He has truly found himself in Killing Time, I recommend it completely.

I’ve been a long time fan of Jimmy Barnes. Now even more.
I love the fact jimmy is the notator. This is a genuine heartfelt noration of his stories he experienced himself.
Although I don’t know Jimmy personally, I think I relate to him on so many levels.
I have never been in the music game ( I can’t sing or play a thing), but I feel as though I lives have crossed ( maybe from a far distance).
I would love to meet him in person , and hope not to be star struck when it occurs.
This has been my most enjoyable books to listen to.
Highly recommended

Love the Barnes Family
I was so sad to finish this book. Please keep writing Jimmy. Your next one can be bedtime stories with Jimmy and Jane.

Was a good look at his life behind the scenes
I think some of his stories gave us too much information that we really didn’t need to know (I can’t Un-hear that Now) I love Jimmy Barnes but some stories have me second guessing my ‘perception’ of him.
But hey — we all have baggage.!!

Thank you for sharing
I love it, thank you Jimmy for sharing your amazing journeys
I found this witty, as only a Scot can do, honest, endearing, romantic and adventurous
taking the reader on a tour of Asia, restaurants, food, Europe's ski fields and more
your love for life, family and the respect for culture and heritage are carefully balanced with a twist of streetwise knucklehead...
A diamond in the rough, a joy to listen to, so far removed from the lad I met briefly in Perth at the musos club with then Diesel... many moons ago
What a life, so many blessings...

Good but not Great
I enjoyed listening to this book; however, I had heard many of the stories before in interviews and promos for the book. It was good to hear Jimmy retell the stories but it was not as great as the previous books.
