Customer Reviews

An Odyssey of Debauchery worthy of Doug's Reputation.

Wow, let me start out by saying if you're a fan of Doug, I'm sure you'll love his book, you don't need me to tell you anything else. If you're not a fan of Doug, and you don't like vulgarity, then I recommend you steer clear, this book is written by a man who relishes breaking rules, and pushing taboos, he says so himself. However if you don't know who Doug is, but want to hear some very compelling stories from a comedian famed for his alcohol fueled debauched hijinks. You'll almost certainly laugh, you'll probably cringe a few times, you might even cry. This is the first book that made me sad as I watched my bookmark move closer and closer to the end. Savor it friends.
