Summary: A Crude, Relentless Look Back At The Life of Richard Pryor
Review: This book, although not recommended for the younger or more sensitive types, tells everything there is to know about Richard Pryor. This book does not set out to make him look like a great man, nor does it set out to make him look like a horrid monster, it presents his choices, good or bad, and allows the reader to draw whatever conclusions he/she wants.

Summary: More Respect than "Pryor"
Review: This has to be one of the most honest and compelling autobiographies I ever read! I have an immense amount of respect for the intimate details that Rich felt comfortable with sharing with readers about his early life and personal problems. Though some parts dealt with painful issues, the comedic genius he is, he manages to have readers smiling through tears. I found it particularly painful to read his battle with MS, which I watched my mother suffer with, but again, the humor is always there. Richard Pryor is the epitomy of a survivor, not to mention one of the most talented comedians of our time. This was a very inspirational and enjoyable read and I recommend the purchase A.S.A.P.

Summary: very honest
Review: this man is a legend.he is bigger than comedy.he is everyday life.this book reflects the flaws&the genius of this man.i used to wait until my folks were asleep and sneak his tapes on.they were extremly funny but also thought provoking.it dealt with issues that he was facing.race being the number one factor.and he was very open and straight to the point about it.sex he didn't hold back his thoughts.same with drugs.his work is still imitated&sampled.the man has left a lasting impact on my life and countless others.this is one of the greatest biographys that i've ever read.captivating and honest just like the man.must read.he is the king of comedy for me.

Summary: Masterful Memoir
Review: Using excerpts from his "Mudbone" monologues to accentuate the events of his life, Pryor puts together a collection of memories that make PC a must-read. I can only think of a few other autobiographies that even come close.
