hilarious! A must read for fans of Rickles or youngsters who don't even know who he is!

classic rickles

If you're already a Rickles fan, this book is for you. If you're a new fan or are wondering what has brought this comic back to the forefront of comedy, then you've got to get this book. It epitomizes Mr. Rickles' unique humor like no other book I,ve read. And, believe me, I,ve read all of his books. He,s my favorite comic of all time. All of his books and dvds are hilarious, however this one takes humor to a new, higher level.

Rickle's still has it.

Rickles has put together a delightful book of 'suggestions' and observations in Letters. He uses his traditional humor and his innate ability to take advantage of stereotypes to make a laugh out loud book. It is a quick read, appropriate for all ages, and hilariously funny.

Fuuuuuny stuff!

So there I was in a bookstore, the day after Thanksgiving, flipping this book from letter to letter...laughing my you know what off in the store. If you know Rickles you can hear his voice loud and clear through these. If there is any downside, this is a very short book and one can get throuhg the whole thing easily, but worth having for the continued laughs alone!

A book review

I'm not sure why they always say Don Rickles is "Mr. Warmth" because every time I see him on television all he does is yell mean things at people. Poor Regis! If Mr. Rickles thinks Regis Philbin is such a terrible person, why does he go on his show? I'd like to hear the answer to that.
