I was expecting a great story from this book, however, most of the stories have already been told on the Howard Stern show, so if you are a fan of the show already this book is a waste of your money. I was hoping I could relate to this Italian comic I admired, but after reading this book I now have lost interest.

If anything the immature writing of the book really set me off. I felt like I was reading an 8th grader’s paper. Trying to read a book with a sentence that literally says F-you, goes to point out how immature this guy really is. I understand they were trying to go with the tone of how Artie talks, but it really was an annoying read and kind of insulting to my intelligence.

In fact, by reading this book I have more disgust for the guy as it goes to point out how he has been lucky enough to stumble across much success and continues to blow it with every chance he gets. Anyone who’s struggled to get into the business would be enraged reading this book as the amount of times the sun has shined for this guy and how he has stupidly screwed it up time and time again.

The book also goes to point out how Artie still has problems dealing with ‘gay’ stuff (although he seems to be fairly pro-gay on air), and still has come to terms with his Dad’s passing. In conclusion I was just bored with this book and it didn’t give me any insight to Artie I didn’t already know or understand being Italian myself.
