I love Denis Leary's blunt and to the point approach.....Imagine what the world would be like if everyone was just that honest!!!! We all think it and he just had the balls to say it!!! ( ) This was a great book. Leary blends memoir and rant quite well. Sure, it has a part or two where the pace slow downs a bit, but when he is hot, he is really cooking. No one is safe from his observations and direct approach. What I like about him, like other comedians I like (Lewis Black, George Carlin), is that he will make you laugh, but then you think and realize he is speaking the truth, a truth that few hear. I am not spoiling the end, but I will say he does leave us with some hope. Overall, a very entertaining read. I made some notes in my updates about passages I liked. no reviews | add a review
The four-time Emmy-nominated comic satirist of Rescue Me presents irreverent cultural observations about how society is taking itself too seriously, in an account that shares anecdotes from his Irish-Catholic upbringing, high-pressure family life, and work as a performing artist.
