This is a fantastic book that goes so deep on the author letting us know who he is. The early chapters on the Holocaust were very educational and surprisingly emotional. Highly recommend this book.

This book is so beautifully and intelligently written. Geddy does not skip one detail, he is so honest and candid, you feel like you are reading the book of a close friend. He describes everything about his childhood, his parents surviving the holocaust, the bands drug use, how they created their music, details of recording and touring, what it was like to tour with other bands, Neil’s death. There are many photos, inside stories, drawings, posters. If only every autobiography was this great! You certainly get your moneys worth!

An engrossing, fun, emotionally challenging and rewarding read. You will come away from Geddy Lee’s memoir knowing more about his personal and professional journey, moreover about the art and industry of music and the personalities that drive them both, than you might fathom. I was compelled to listen to the songs referenced in “My Effin’ Life “—both Rush songs and those that informed and inspired them—adding to my own knowledge and enjoyment of music while immersing myself in the world of one of THE iconic rock bands of all time. I wasn’t a devoted Rush fan when I started reading Lee’s book, but I count myself one now and forever.

I enjoyed reading this book so much, that I read it again!

I’ve been a lifelong fan. Extremely inspired y and endlessly entertained. Also, for decades now someone trying to play the songs. This book gave a lot of insight into the man. Tears…

Phenomenal book. Inspiring. Heartbreaking. Entertaining. Thought-provoking. Thank you, Geddy Lee, for all that you shared in this book, and thanks for all the music that you and the Eekes created and shared with us along the way. What an incredible journey.

The story of Geddy’s parents meeting is the greatest love story you will ever hear.
