Customer Reviews

Hilarious!

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.

Absolutely hysterical!

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.

More introspective than "Private Parts" but STILL FUNNY!

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.

Ground Breaking

Howard Stern proves again why he is called the King of All Media. A funny, truthful, and sometimes painful collection of behind the scenes stories. Also a great tribute to all those that have worked for him or against him. I dare any stern haters to read this book and compare it to any other book of its kind. Stern is the most important thing to hit radio since Marconi.

a cocktail table curio for the non-insider....and....

a bathroom rack visual to oogle during pauses.Stern is the Bill Clinton of invasive celebs in our lives which causes the meek and the squimish to avoid funny flix like "Private Parts" and this follow-up gem called "Miss America". Howard, like Woody Allen, is a non-template, insightful and easy to despise because of his persona. READ "MISS AMERICA" PLS!
