Book Review: I Ain't Lying...
Summary: 5 Stars
...I couldn't put the book down!!! Anyone looking for pearls of wisdom, and I mean there are some rugged blue mother oysters of wisdom in this one, but 'Maybe You Never Cry Again' will give it to you straighter and realer than a stand-up routine of any length could ever tell.
A well put-together memoir from start to finish. The reading is not only rare and raw, but comes from a man with a heart as tender as it was big. The wisdom doesn't lay flat, but rather stands up to the telling of a persuasive entertainer. Told in crisp, jaunting, Bernie Mac fashion it's all in here; the values Bernie placed on becoming a man (stemming from his grandparents, his mother, and even his brother), his marriage & marriage, friends & friendships, his daughter & raising children, and how perspicaciously he modeled these values to steer his career. There is so much in here, and the book at approximately 300 pages is filled with pictures as well.
Overall the pacing is smooth and in quite a few spots especially touching. The comedy (true to Bernie Mac form) is fiercely honest, which includes many clips of his performances... some well-known, others less known. And the narration is unfailingly, over the top, all around inspirational. My gosh, can't nothing be more powerful than a man who values family!
Summary of Maybe You Never Cry Again
The Bernie Mac Show, Fox's phenomenally successful new sitcom, has been making waves in the US press with an estimated 10 million viewers watching Bernie Mac as he shows tough love to the children in his care, offering an often side-splitting look at post-politically correct parenting. The impetus behind the show goes back to Mac's own roots. He grew up in a boisterous home in Chicago with his large extended family, and watched their antics with the cutting and careful eye of a burgeoning comedian. His extraordinary relationship with his mother had a profound effect in shaping the man he would become, as did the heartache of losing many of his close family members at an early age. By turns shocking, heartbreaking, and heart-warming, Mac's autobiography is replete with stories about the major figures in his life who contributed to his laugh-out loud sense of humour, or served as fodder for it, about his provocative views on child-rearing; and about his well deserved ascension to the status of comedy king.Memoirs Books
