Rating: Summary: Great Book Review: Let me first start off by stating that I live in NYC and have never listened to Mancow's radio show. An old college friend of mine currently lives in Chicago and he always tells me all the time about this funny radio host Mancow Muller. So while in my local bookstore I came across his book and started reading the first chapter. I was instantly hooked and couldn't stop reading. So I purchased the book, went home and read it cover-to-cover. Mancow possesses an overall ideology about life which I relate to more then all these other talking heads out there. His book is emblematic of the man and I really like what this man has to say. Whether it's relishing in the freedom's of Amsterdam, or putting up a fight to the corporate media conglomerations which exist in radio today, Mancow is a man of his convictions. His passages about his father's recent death where touching, if not eloquent and I think every guy out there who recently lost a father, should pick this book up for therapuetic reasons, not to mention his hilarious anecdotes on everything from having sex with a hooker, to his famous closing down of the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. Great book!
Rating: Summary: Truly Manufactured! Review: Like some other post read, Mancow has sold out for the best get-back. It's true, his hypocritical views started to sicken me until I realized this is entertainment not an encylopedia.Man cow lies and changes his story, but he does this to appeal to the masses. He swears he is keeping it real. bah humbug! He does what ever it takes to stay at the top of the charts, like promoting his book non stop on his show, or the episode where he had his phone poll "What do you hate about mancow?"! Like that wasn't free marketing research! Bah Humbug! It's entertainment, you'd be a dummy to think otherwise. As a listener to the show sometimes I catch mancow in a lie but in any case he's usually entertaining. His book is entertaining but it's probably exagerated stretches of the truth.

Rating: Summary: Terrific and Manic Review: Mancow Muller is outrageous on the radio and his book is his personality put on paper. He puts his foot in his mouth and is politically incorrect but doesn't apologize for it. He's too busy having already manically jumped to another topic. The writing and manic personality, even the story is very similar to Rikki Lee Travolta's My Fractured Life. The childhood reflections have a little in common with Augusten Burrough's Running With Scissors. Terrific.

Rating: Summary: mancow's soul on paper Review: mancow tells his tale of his life in a fashion not like other books.he tells it like human thought. He has flashbacks and cut himself off in his mind. But still everything he says connects and comes together in the end. he has spared no feelings and spared no words. His most glorified and his most embarrasing moments are there for us to share with him. Most people that are not familiar with him wil be surprised to find that a man who has been dubbed a "shock jock" by media, has a strong sense of family and devotion to values. you will be touched by this book no matter what your opinion of "the mancow" is!
Rating: Summary: Wonderful and well thought out book. Review: Mancow's book is the best I have read in years. A Great read!
Rating: Summary: Cow....Love you, Love your Book! Review: Mancow's trip down freedom road is a very entertaining read. I don't find many books that I like, but I can hardly put this book down. From his sexcapades, to his accounts of his father, Mancow makes you laugh and think. The true fans of Mancow will continue to love him, and will convert the non-believers. Thanks Cow, hopefully this won't be your last.
Rating: Summary: A Must Read for Anyone with a Dad Review: My dad is still with me, but the Pain Mancow shares in his book is intence. His book has brought me closer to my father, knowing I have only a certaion amount of time till I join Mancow in the Dead dad's Club. Several of his stories will make you laugh your A$$ off, while some of his childhood memories cause you to stop and think about some of the actions you have done in the past as well. A must Read for anyone with a dad!
Rating: Summary: Good for You, Mancow. Review: Sad, funny, angry, joyous, and [aroused] -this book runs the gambit of human emotion! This is Mancow's shining moment of triumph! In this book, Mr. Erich Muller explains how he overcame ridicule as a child by creating the "Mancow" character. Then he talks about his unique relationship with his father. In Amsterdam, Mancow struggles to deal with the loss of his mentor and biggest fan, John Muller. His adventures in Amsterdam give insight to his dark side. A short, self-destructive pattern of drug, alcohol, and sexual indulgence ensues. On the outside, it seems as though he is having fun, but inside he is really trying to cope with the pain. The book brings you full circle when Mancow finally comes to terms with his own homosexuality. This book is truly a celebration of a fancy-free gay lifestyle that blooms full force as he dashes towards the rainbow. Even if you're not gay you should still get this book.
