Hyena is a collection of autobiographical stories by Jude Angelini, which takes the reader on his journey of heartbreak, depravity, and hilarity, deftly moving between his adult life and his childhood growing up in a factory town outside of Detroit. Each story is told with brutal honesty, yet maintains a gallows humor that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief.

Jude is one of the top hip-hop radio hosts on Sirius Satellite radio. His self-published, print-on-demand edition of Hyena has been an indie bestseller, despite having no ebook or physical distribution. Its exploration of drugs, sex, and the human condition compares to Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, Artie Lange, and Jim Norton. It also captures the hardscrabble culture, language, and landscape of post-industrial Detroit, from which came some of pop culture’s most compelling artists.

Review

“Angelini’s book is like a mix of Charles Bukowski and Hunter S. Thompson, chronicling a whirlwind of belligerent wild tribulations all his own…You won’t be able to put it down, and you will come out understanding and understood.” (Mariah Summers BuzzFeed Books)

Hilarious

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Hilarious, I love this damn book! I will post a picture of one of the pages so you get an idea about what kind of x-rated content and hilarity that this book has. I can't put it down, it had me cracking up.
You can watch some of Rude Jude's interviews on youtube, those are pretty funny as well. The dude has character.

Bloody Brains & Domesticated Fangs

June 11, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I didn't know who Jude was when I purchased this book, and you don't really need to in order to enjoy the stories. His tone and voice is much stronger and more mature than you'd expect from the person portrayed in the pages. Autobiographical almost to a fault, this collection of true tales pretty much deals exclusively with drugs, sex, and (maybe you'd call it) love. The lens for each story is unflinching and unclouded, and our narrator is guilelessly straightforward about his thoughts, experiences, and general level of depravity and dismay.

The biggest flaw with the book is that the stories get repetitive after awhile. If they aren't about him doing drugs and/or having sex, they're about his family or his longing for the One That Got (Thrown?) Away. Each piece is beautifully written and achingly sincere, but the themes blur into one long, monotone landscape after awhile. The force of his honesty starts to lose its edge when you read about the same basic confessions over and over. He has a knack for analyzing his mistakes and self without coming across as preachy or self-pitying, which is amazing actually and keeps the tales moving without ever growing too stale, but in retrospect it feels like some of the pieces could've been eliminated or joined together to avoid blunting their energy with repetition.

Minor quibbles for what is one of the best story collections I've read in a long time. Beware: these tales are about as X-rated as they get without crossing over into full-out smut.

Rude Jude is the man

April 30, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I haven't read a book in almost 10 years but I read through 139 pages of HYENA in one sitting. If you've heard Jude on the radio and enjoyed it then you will absolutely like his book, even if youre someone like me who hasn't read a book since high school. There are a lot of hilarious parts, there are parts that hit close to home, the way he weaves the two together is amazing.

Not your average novel

September 2, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A funny, and oftentimes, even sad view into the life of Jude Angelini, this book gives us insight into a world some of us may not otherwise see or know about. The author writes in a way that allows you to feel as though he's speaking directly to you, giving you his testimony, sharing his honest, raw, brutal view of the world, and opening up in a way that many authors don't for fear of how the world would judge them.

In his follow up Hummingbird, he continues with that raw emotional appeal, maybe even on a deeper level. His gut wrenching, but often humorous struggles with love and life, give us a glimpse into the mind of a man who struggles with self acceptance, yet continues to strive for more.

The book touches on themes of substance abuse, sex, relationships, breakups, but twists them into humorous short stories that are palatable, heart wrenching, and hilarious.

If you're going to read this book, follow up with Hummingbird. Jude's writing style reminds me of a more vulgar Frank McCourt. His ability to connect to the reader using writing that is not full of flowery words, but rather fraught with meaning despite that, is uncanny. Neither book is a disappointment, but rather can't be put down. I read Hummingbird in one day and Hyena in 2 days. Believe the hype.

Painfully Hilarious

July 3, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I listen to Sir Angelini's show every once in a while on my drive home. The guy is hilarious, point blank. Early on after researching him, finding out he was the same guy from the Jenny Jones show, from Pontiac Michigan, and caucasian, I was dumbfounded. Not because he was a throwback semi-celebrity, from a nearby area and white, but he didn't fit the image I had in my head. While listening to Sirius one day, I heard his commercial that he had written a book and that a show was being made about him on HBO. I immediately jumped on amazon, ordered the book and this is by far the fastest book I've ever read. I know my wife was tired of me stopping her from her day by me reading her entire chapters at a time.

I heard Jude's distinctive voice throughout the book, which made it much more vivid. After reading the book, and knowing what he has going on in outside activities, my desire for the All Out Show to go to a 90% talk format is a pipe dream. Jude is off to bigger and better stuff, as long as he allows it without blowing up his spot. I do think this is where Jude stands above some of his peers, he has a desire to move forward, and doesn't seem afraid of success.

Back to the book... if you enjoy raunchy humor, vivid storytelling and cringe inducing situations, you're doing yourself a disservice if you haven't read this book.

And Jude, whenever you're back in MI, come up to Flinttown and we'll tear up LLT & Cloud Nine.

I'd recommend you listen to Jude a few times on the radio before you read this book just so you can put his voice and the way he speaks with the way the book is written. it's a fascinating read. I tried to watch a movie after reading a few chapters and had to go right back to the book you could crush it in one night if you wanted to. it's an interesting life lived put into a book. I mean I found myself laughing several times but then feel sorry for him. I'm sure he doesn't want my pity. We've all got issues to deal with and he is so brutally honest about obsessing over an ex and self torture I think it's kind of brave. 5 starts. Can't wait for the show.

It's like Black Mirror but real

February 11, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book are short stories told by Jude Angelini aka Rude Jude. These are his own experiences growing up and the wild situations he had. It's like Black Mirror where each chapter is its own story and not continuing from the previous chapter. It's mainly sex and drugs, but deep inside there's a message of telling everyone to think outside the box and grow up. This book is not for everyone as it will laugh, cry, shocked and sad all at the same time.
