Month of April 2022: Celebrity Profiles

A quick little read. This was a free used book from Thriftbooks.com on 1/17/2022.

It is barely a memoir. Ray mentions random moments in his life, mostly about his wife and four kids, and then expands on those moments with satire comedy. At the beginning, he had me cracking up, then it really fell flat.

A lot of his real life sounds exactly like his life on the TV show, “Everyone Loves Raymond”. That appears to be his real personality. I just love that show and can watch reruns over and over and crack up every time.
I loved this book. Of course, I do like Ray Romano, my favourite comedian all time hands down. But the book is hillarious and he offers humor to relate to real life human experiences. It's a great read and makes you think about how similar situations you may be in his. He gives his views on kids, marriage and yes the all time favourite - family. Providing hillarious examples for each to illustrate his points.
Just a light read, nothing profound, but fun all the same.
Everyhing and a Kite by Ray ROmano
Stand up comedian who talks about a lot of different subjects,
mostly how men can get away with doing certain chores, being
blamed for things they didn't do or say, etc.
Baby schedules, watching sports on tv, just things kids say, mostly
profanity.
He explains the title of the book and it makes TOTAL sense.
This book is hilarious. Of course I'm a big Ray Romano fan anyway. I laughed all the way throught it!
