Book Reviews of Miss America
Book Review: More introspective than "Private Parts" but STILL FUNNY!
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought "Private Parts" was funnier, but this book is different--it is more introspective but still has many hilarious moments. The hysterical chapter on Stern's meeting with Michael Jackson is definitely worth the price of this book alone. He trashes Jackson thoroughly, asking the question no one dares to ask: "If you love children so much, where are the girls?" I kept reading this chapter over and over again. What I like about Howard Stern is that he is not afraid to tell the truth. He is not awed by celebrities and doesn't hesitate to shred them apart when they deserve it. He is great at exposing celebrity hypocrisy and hype. Another incredibly funny account is Stern's experience with cybersex and meeting his cybermates in person. The language is foul, vulgar and crude in this book, but if you can get beyond that, you'll realize what an incredibly brilliant and funny man Stern is. Even the way he uses typefaces in this book effectively conveys his feelings to the reader and makes what he says twice as funny. If you're offended by graphic language, I wouldn't recommend this book. But if you have a biting, satirical, twisted sense of humor, you'll enjoy this book immensely.Book Review: One of the greatest books in the history of literature.
Summary: 5 Stars
After his first book "Private Parts," it seemed like Howard
Stern would never be able to top himself. But with his honesty
and humor, he was able to make a good thing even better on his
sophomore effort as an author. Though "Miss America," is not for
the faint of heart, and probably wouldn't be enjoyed unless you
are familiar with his outrageous comedy, it is still a masterpiece
in itself.
"Miss America" not only is written beautifully, but is full of
photographs and artwork that only add to the books mystique. And
if there was something that you thought you didn't know about Stern,
read "Miss America" and you'll find out a lot more than you ever wanted
to know about him.
As Stern takes you on his adventures through cybersex, his
confidential meeting with Michael Jackson, and his battle with
O.C.D. (Obsesive Compulsive Disorder) his brilliance as an author
and as a comedian come through loud and clear. And by the end of
"Miss America" you'll understand why he has dubbed himself the
"King of All Media.Book Review: Even more foul than his Private Parts (and shorter)
Summary: 5 Stars
Howard Stern is an American icon. There is no denying it. I read every blasphemous page of Miss America. It made me feel belittled, sullied, and degraded; and I loved it. From his quest to become a gubernatorial rubber stamp for the death penalty in New York to his almost adulterous encounters with trolls posing as on-line goddesses to his pitiful enslavement to obsessive-compulsive dementia, I found this book to be enormously therapeutic in showing that Howard's life is even more pathetic than my own. While it may be yet another slap in the face to his long suffering wife, it is an important step in Stern's eventual monopoly of American popular culture. I would rank this book alongside Bocaccio's Decameron as the most significant dirty book to come along in the last thousand years.Book Review: Absolutely hysterical!
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading Private parts, I fully expected this book to be similiar as I'd never read it but instead, it's a very humorous account of Howards many funny life events with a full account of his staff and their many duties. We hear about such fasinating things as Fartman's antics to his political era which I'm sure will go down in history. I beginning to ask myself, "Is there anything this man CAN'T do?" Funny and entertaining. I fully recommend this book.Book Review: Miss America is too hot for words!
Summary: 5 Stars
There she is Howard Stern's Miss America. She might not win the award for Miss Congeniality, but she's a sexy read! Speaking of hot reads, I also loved Dan Wagner's Getting To Howard: The Odyssey of an Obsessed Howard Stern Fan. Dan's description of a book signing for Miss America is hilarious. Howard's next book should be titled Mr. America and have a photo of KC on the cover. By the way, Baba-Booey!
