- Read this book - Cover. To. Cover. - in 3 hours. Which sounds shocking, but it is barely thicker than a hardpressed grilled cheese.
Some of the most self-aggrandizing, delusional drivel I have ever read.
Will be selling my copy. Too embarrassing to keep this on my bookshelf. - I wanted to like this book as I used to be a big Anthony fan before he delved into the racist cesspool.
However, the book is highly unprofessional and littered with lazy typos starting from the opening paragraph “I was born in the City of Manhattan†- Manhattan is a borough.
The content of this book is essentially rehashings of Old OA bits and it comes off as lazy and tired. - There's certainly a book's worth of material regarding Ant's life and the OnA show, but this ain't it. It's poorly written and badly edited, but the main problem is that it's way too short. The whole transition to the dual show between XM and FM radio is handled in about two paragraphs, but it took a couple months for the negotiations that resulted in the "walkover", I know, I'm actually listening to the spring 2016 archived shows right now. You could write chapters on how all that played out. You could write 25 pages on the various Stalker Patti episodes, and where is Patrice Oneal in this book? Aside from Jimmy, Patrice was the most influential third mike on the show, and even had a broadcast of his own for awhile, the "Black Phllip" show. Where's Big A? Bobo? The deadly attacks on other radio personalities pursued by the Pests? And for a book that's suppose to tell all, there's precious little of "walking on Gregshells" in here. Try again.
- Started the book as soon as it was downloaded from my pre-order and couldn't put it down. Amazing. Shocked to find negative reviews from people who obviously never read it
- he went ARRGHH
- As a long time fan, I eagerly anticipated Anthony’s autobiography. He is a fantastic story teller and has lived an incredible life. This book is funny and amazing. It is an easy read and I highly recommend it.
- I think Anthony is one of the funniest guys on the planet and I had high hopes for this book. It started out that way describing his childhood and giving some humorous insight into how he turned out like he did. Unfortunately things went downhill from there. If you've been a fan and have been following this saga you will find that 90% of the rest of the content is just retreads of stories you've heard many times before. There are a couple of highlights such as the appearances on the late night shows and how that went, but I was really hoping for more detail into never-before-heard incidents or even just MORE info on what did happen. Everything is just glossed over in this brief book. The organization of stories also seems disjointed with different "controversies" thrown in at different times.
Ultimately I don't know if this come together due to having (two?) co-writers or whether Anthony's humor just does not translate to the written word. Minor note, the book is a bit out of date, as it was finished before Artie was let go from the podcast. Would have been interesting to read about that.
Still rooting for Anthony but the book didn't hit the mark. - Hard pass
