"Candid and surprisingly funny."

Review
"Candid and surprisingly funny."Malibu Times


"This excellent book is the deeply moving account of one man's battle with cancer...Both laugh-out-loud funny as well as deeply touching."Tucson Citizen


"In his new memoir...[Schimmel] lets us tag along on a very personal, painful and yes, hilarious journey...Thoughtful as it is raw; and, it's consistently funny throughout."Punchline.com

"The candid description of [Schimmel's] journey is alternately funny and moving."Deseret News



"Like his comedy, his book is deeply personal...Like his stand-up act, the memoir is coarse and candid...Buy the book for the laughing and crying."Cleveland Plain Dealer

[A] remarkable and riveting account Schimmel is fiercely candid and direct. This could be the most profanely adult book of inspiration you'll find. But inspiring it is, and moving, without being mawkish or phony. Schimmel is simply too laugh-out-loud funny, and his storytelling too compelling.Cleveland Plain Dealer



Like his comedy, his book is deeply personal Like his stand-up act, the memoir is coarse and candid Buy the book for the laughing and crying.Cleveland Plain Dealer

Amusing.Cleveland Free Times



The story will have you chuckling, if not downright laughing out loud Beneath the veneer of [Schimmel s] self-deprecating humor, this is a story of struggle and hope, of being pushed to the brink and walking away a survivor, and finding a core truth within oneself during the ordeal.Fifty Plus

Devastatingly funny, ultimately healing.The Naughty American
