Book Reviews of No Cure for Cancer
Book Review: Dennis Leary strikes another blow ...
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank you Dennis for giving all those hope who are a little light on the talent side, but who own a leather jacket, let their hair down in their face and a possess a disproportionate affinity for their own jokes. They CAN make it in the biz. A 21st-century Paul Lynde, Dennis knows how to go for the jugular and doesn't take any prisoners. Don't let appearances fool you, he's tough -- even though he has arms like Lindsay Lohan. And for those of you who are always comparing his face to Keith Richards, I call sour grapes! I didn't laugh at this book, but I don't think that was the intention.
Summary of No Cure for Cancer
An uproarious and lacerating meditation on life--and death--by a celebrated new voice on the comedy scene. Leary employs his ferocious wit and sharp intellect to confront society and its ills and forces us to face the issues we are all most afraid of. "Absolutely brilliant . . . the real cutting edge of American comedy."--The Boston Globe.Leary manages to be harsh and hilarious about foibles and situations, stupidity and hypocrisy. No Cure for Cancer is the written version of a series of monologues he wrote while in the United Kingdom. Perhaps the most memorable aspects of the book are the speculation about a story drawn from a supermarket checkout newspaper about a man who lost his penis in an industrial accident; Leary's childhood experience of being shot in the head by his brother with an arrow; and his rants about drugs, the psychoses of New York, and the kind of childhood no one would willingly claim is normal for America, but probably (and frighteningly) is!
