Book Reviews of Miss America
Book Review: Not Very Impressive For The King Of All Media
Summary: 1 Stars
First off, I would like to state that I never read Private Parts by Stern, which I was told was a better book. I personally was disappointed in this book. After reading this book, I felt like he was just writing another book because Private Parts did so well. It had some parts that were funny, but for the most part, I felt like it was a book for Stern to insult everyone that he could in a book. I believe that Stern is one of the smartest men in radio, and that he does what he does very well. I am not part of that audience, and perhaps that is why this book did not appeal to me very much. After having read this book, I felt like I had gained nothing by reading it. It left me with no good feeling, and I really wasn't any more educated because of it. I was quite disappointed to say the least.Book Review: The FCC should Ban this book
Summary: 1 Stars
It's next to the worse book I've read yet, "Private Parts," is the worse. My gosh, you'd think with all his money he could write something worth reading except about his ham life; this guy has got to figure out what a plot and theme is, there is none. And just run on sentences going nowhere. He must sell them to his followers, becasue there is nothing of interest in it just talking and talking and talking of the FCC, and how he did this and that, where ever he ends up, he does. It was not a disappointment in that, I figured it would be something along that order, especially after I read the dirty mouth garbage and seen the pictures in "Private Parts."Book Review: Great radio doesn't translate to the printed page
Summary: 1 Stars
I really enjoy Howard's radio show and bought this book based on the reviews on Amazon. Similar to the comments listeners make about the radio show, I kept reading to see what would come next. I was really disappointed. Things that may be funny on the radio just seem trite when written. The account of the destruction of DeBella, Philadelphia's ex-top DJ, showed sadism through the airways at its worst. Not just content to be #1, Howard had to destroy people's lives.Stick with the radio/tv but leave this art form alone.
Book Review: An extremely unfunny book; Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
Howard Stern was obviously trying to top his last book "Private Parts" with this one but failed miserably. Not only does the book lack the structure that "Parts" had, but it's just not funny. Also one can see through Stern's attacks on Rush Limbaugh and realize that it's Stern's jealousy over never being able to reach the success or respectablility of Limbaugh. That part of the book, like the rest, gives the image of Stern as a desperate dinosaur sinking fast into the tar pit of obscurity.
