Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Stern's second memoir focuses more on his professional family than on his biological family, and those who listen to his syndicated radio program will LOVE the chance to know more about Stern's crew. If you've been dying to see Stern in drag, here's your chance. But he's still at his best when he's assessing his celebrity guests, trashing the Kennedys and describing his relationship with his computer. For fans of Stern's longsuffering wife Allison, there is a very funny description of her 40th birthday party, and how Stern came through for her and "her yenta friends.". --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars More introspective than "Private Parts" but STILL FUNNY!, April 5, 2001

By	Paige Turner "Film Fanatic" (Hawaii) - See all my reviews

I thought "Private Parts" was funnier, but this book is different--it is more introspective but still has many hilarious moments. The hysterical chapter on Stern's meeting with Michael Jackson is definitely worth the price of this book alone. He trashes Jackson thoroughly, asking the question no one dares to ask: "If you love children so much, where are the girls?" I kept reading this chapter over and over again. What I like about Howard Stern is that he is not afraid to tell the truth. He is not awed by celebrities and doesn't hesitate to shred them apart when they deserve it. He is great at exposing celebrity hypocrisy and hype. Another incredibly funny account is Stern's experience with cybersex and meeting his cybermates in person. The language is foul, vulgar and crude in this book, but if you can get beyond that, you'll realize what an incredibly brilliant and funny man Stern is. Even the way he uses typefaces in this book effectively conveys his feelings to the reader and makes what he says twice as funny. If you're offended by graphic language, I wouldn't recommend this book. But if you have a biting, satirical, twisted sense of humor, you'll enjoy this book immensely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, January 18, 2002

By	"accroya" (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews

I don't read as much as many people, but I couldn't put this book down. My wife often had to tell me to stop laughing or leave the room! If you like Howard, you've gotta get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely hysterical!, August 1, 2001

By	D. Feindel "bluebrit" (USA/England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After reading Private parts, I fully expected this book to be similiar as I'd never read it but instead, it's a very humorous account of Howards many funny life events with a full account of his staff and their many duties. We hear about such fasinating things as Fartman's antics to his political era which I'm sure will go down in history. I beginning to ask myself, "Is there anything this man CAN'T do?" Funny and entertaining. I fully recommend this book.
