Hysterically funny!

This is one of the most hilarious, touching, sometimes dirty (but mostly hilarious) books I've ever read. If you're a baby-boomer who grew up in the `60s, this book will bring back memories of all the silly things you did when you were younger. But, even if you're not from that generation, be prepared to laugh your socks off at the varied collection of outrageously funny stories that comprise the author's life. Starting with the first few chapters, "Runaway" and "Attack of the Killer Sunfish," you'll be rolling on the floor with laughter. And you'll continue to laugh (Hope you have tight abs, `cause they're going to get a good workout!) until you've read the last page of the book. Marcus' book is a definite must-read for anyone and everyone with a good sense of humor. Truth is definitely stranger than fiction!

Sex, drugs, rock & roll, booze, beer and pee-in-your-pants laughs.

This book is as funny as "Animal House," but it's true; and parts are stranger than fiction. I was LMAO, ROTFL (laughing my ass off, rolling on the floor laughing). I don't want to say that this is the funniest book I've ever read, because I may have forgotten a book I read in fourth grade. However, I will say it's the funniest book I can remember. It's also funnier than most movies, and if a movie is made from this book, it will be a classic -- just like "Animal House." National Lampoon Animal House 29th Anniversary Edition

Prepare to Laugh...

The book is hilarious... really, really funny. I did a spit take and laughed so hard I could barely breathe when I read the "cockroaches with lobster costumes" line. Michael Marcus is right... crayfish are disgusting. The stories just get better from there. Brilliant! Who knew that sexual depravity, college humor, and stale pizza could be so funny? It's Animal House on steriods, but even better, because the stories are true.
