Book Reviews of Too Fat to Fish
Book Review: Love & Miss Artie!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a long time Stern listener (20+ years) when Artie joined the show - it was like listening it to the first time again! Love his story telling, impressions, the guy just seemed unstoppable!! A little about me, mid 40's, business professional, woman, no addictions, no therapies, just average run of the mill yuppie I guess. I bought the book the day it was available, but finally got around to read it...
Yes, I laughed out loud - and reading it so late, some of the stories weren't as new as I had heard through radio show fodder.. No worries - no spoiler alert here - but it was very difficult to read (emotion) due to where Artie is today. Knowing the demons he wrote about - were/are obviously still there just broke my heart. If you're an Artie fan, and I mean, a fan who cares, not someone who would share coke or buy him Jack all night - then you'll feel the same way... You want Artie back.
I hope he has another book - overcoming those demons - and continue to tell the stories he does so well.
Book Review: Not your usual Bio.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ive never been a big fan of autobiography's by actors. They are always the same story (and so is this one) but I dont know, this is one great book. Ive been an Artie fan ever since I saw him on MadTV season 1. At the age of 12, I started listening to Howard Stern. I became an instant fan. The book goes through Artie's life between 1993-1998 when he really hit rock bottom with cocaine. It then skipped over to when he joined the Stern Show. Its a great book and its probably one of the only auto biographies that Ive actually enjoyed (besides George Carlin's book "On Words"). Its a great book which really surprised me. Check out the audio book as well, even though Artie only narrated the first hour of it.Book Review: Artie Lange
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been listening to Howard Stern since 1982 when he was in Washington. I like so many people discovered Artie Lange when he became a member of the show. I truly enjoyed his book and in hindshight it was like watching a train wreck. He is an incredibly gifted entertainer. His stories were amazing and funny. If you are fan of the Stern show then this book should be a must read. If you want to read an incredibly honest view of oneself then you should pick this book up. I hope that he finds peace and will be able to give us some more entertainment because he is so gifted.
Book Review: Funny, Sad and an Interesting Biography
Summary: 5 Stars
As a listener to The Howard Stern Show, Artie will often bring up stories of his past. This involved drug use, jail time, growing up and the tragedy of his father's untimely fall and ultimate death. I was curious to get a more concise story of his working class early life and ultimate success. The book was a facinating read and it seemed Artie had no problem in talking about the very good and very, very bad. I would recommend this not only to fans but people who would enjoy the story of a very ordinary man living through life's challenges.Book Review: True Artie all the way! Great, easy read.
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't put down Artie's book. Started reading it yesterday afternoon, finished it this afternoon. Thoroughly enjoyable from cover to cover, a great casual read. Artie is a truly great storyteller and I'm hoping for a second book from him. This book starts before his earliest memories as a child and finishes right after the Afghanistan trip. There is certainly going to be more to tell - especially after the last couple of weeks as I'm writing this.
