Despite reviews praising this book over Private Parts, I don't think it quite lives up to Howard Stern's first novel. Nevertheless, this is a very interesting book filled with juicy information for all fans of Howard Stern and his radio show. We're given glimpses of each personality and background information on some of Stern's finer moments in his radio career.
I would say the only negative about this book is the rather harsh treatment of his then-wife. When just published, I'm sure it could have been written off as an "act", but now knowing of their ultimate divorce, it's hard to view his words towards her as merely an act.

Comical. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to my mother, but it is a fun fast read.

- Dedication
- I dedicate this book to my interns, all of them, the college students who work for free. They bring an infusion of energy, creativity, and excitement to my radio family and do a lot of the dirty work that isn't too glamorous.... (show all) They deserve a lot of credit and seldom get it. A special debt of gratitude to Steve Grillo. For the last four yearshe has been my intern doing every lousy, menial task for me for free, including getting my meals and opening the door to the building every morning at five A.M. He's never late, he never complains, and he always has a smile on his face.
