Book Reviews of Getting to Howard: The Odyssey of an Obsessed Howard Stern Fan

Book Review: Getting to Howard: As reviewed by Linda Gray
Summary: 5 Stars

Dan's obsession with Howard was no secret to his family or his friends. He was eating, drinking, and sleeping Howard Stern. He admits, though, that he was beginning to neglect his family, since his recent enrollment at the internationally acclaimed, "School of Stern." And if that's not bad enough, soon after he was diagnosed with O.C.F.D. (Obsessive Compulsive Faxing Disorder). Now that can be especially serious if one, let's say, runs out of paper. But fortunately, Dan didn't, and flooded Howard Stern's fax machine with fax, after fax, after fax of fictitious names and incidences. Perhaps the clinical diagnoses should have been "Obsessive Compulsive Faux Faxing Disorder." Either way, you're bound to split your sides. Dan Wagner is clinically "brilliant."

Chapter Seven, "The Sting", is ingenious. All you die-hard Stern fans will definitely remember this one. And for all of us who never wasted our time tuning in, be prepared. It's absolutely hysterical. (Sorry. No hints this time).

In chapter eleven, "Hooray for Hollywood", you are taken behind the scenes, for an in-depth look at what really happened during the making of Private Parts. All that glitters is most definitely not gold. Being a Howard Stern fan is positively not a prerequisite for totally enjoying all two hundred and twenty-five pages of this book. The author is a professional photographer, so it's loaded with all kinds of black and white pictures of events and some very strange looking people too. Like Melrose Larry Green caught with his pants down--literally. And for any of you who have ever been interested in getting to know the "King Of All Media," this one is sure to give you an honest profile, written by one man who really did get to Howard. There's lots of dialogue, and much of it is written in script form. It's fast reading, it's novel, and most of all, it's hilarious. So go ahead and do yourself a favor. Sit back and enjoy. This one will leave you laughing. But I must warn you, it's gonna hurt.
