I received my purchase on time and it was as it was described on the website.Book Review: Fear Factor
Summary: 4 Stars
I have heard that laughing is connected to fear. You know, somebody slips and falls and the (immature) people around laugh because they are subconsciously happy that they themselves did not fall.
So, if you laugh at this book it might be because you're afraid of excesses and what those excesses could do to you. Comedian Artie Lange describes his excessive boozing and excessive eating in this book written with Anthony Bozza. Or maybe you laugh because you fear the use of cocaine and heroin; Lange had serious problems with both. It could be gambling that you fear; Lange has absorbed big losses.
Perhaps one has a fear of the kind of sexual promiscuity that Lange describes. I'm not sure what you would call such a fear, but I am sure that Lange could come up with a hilarious routine about it.
I admit that as I read the book, I began to fear that it was coming to an end. It's a good read. Many of the stories were very blunt, many were crude, but they gave me some insight into what drives a successful comedian like Lange.
Other reviewers have complained about the minimal treatment given to the Howard Stern Show. I concur.
I was impressed with Lange's willingness to place himself in harm's way to entertain the troops in Afghanistan, and I think his description of this tour is a highlight of the book.
Book Review: Funny if you're like him
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this book cuz I know what its like to be him. I have an insane overbearing Italian mom. I have a big family with all the accessories, IE, all the "uncles" and family friends. And it felt good to know someone else deals with it and can have a great sense of humor. His stories are some of the funnies s**t you've ever heard! He's the funny guy in everyone's circle of friends. The parts about his father dying are sad but well written and you can feel his pain through it. Its a good book and I'll gladly buy his next one.
P.S. If you're a person that doesn't live within 30 minutes of 90% of your family members - and your mom says "go on and have a good time without us" and you only see your aunts and uncles at thanksgiving and Christmas...and if those family dinners are quiet...this may be a little over your head.
Book Review: artie's book is good
Summary: 4 Stars
very honest, touching, sad, funny. if you are a fan of sterns show or just artie this book will entertain. wish he could get his life straight, seems to have good family and people that care. but who i am kidding lange is probably laying out on a dock at his shore house with a couple of hookers doing lines right know, counting all the money he has made off the book. good job artie
