Summary: It'll Make You Laugh, It'll Make You Cry
Review: Although it's not a literary masterpiece, RANDOM ACTS OF BADNESS is an enjoyable read. It's too bad that this book cannot be required reading for all young people, especially those who may consider venturing into drug experimentation. It is truly amazing that Danny Bonaduce is alive today! He tells his story without making any excuses nor blaming others. After reading this, I respect the guy and admire his strength and more-recent altruism. If nothing else, you'll believe in fate; Danny's marriage is a prime example.

Summary: A fun celeb autobio, plain & simple!
Review: Danny Bonaduce tells his story as if he's sitting with you at Happy Hour...even through the not-so-happy moments in his life, he makes no excuses. In my opinion, the author turned out to be a pretty decent guy (just going by what I've read).

Summary: A Partridge in a Hit Book
Review: Danny's done it again. Actor, disc jockey TV host and now author.
Random Acts of Badness is not just another troubled child star bio. It's a funny, outrageous and touching book about survival told as only Danny could tell it. You may have heard some of these stories before...Danny's never been shy about sharing his life...but don't let that keep you from this truly enjoyable read.

Summary: A FASCINATING READ!
Review: Danny's story is both humorous and heartbreaking. His easygoing writing style draws the reader into his unbelievable adventure. This is a book one can't put down - a real "page turner"! It is a definite "must read" for anyone from the Partridge Family era and will be enjoyable to new fans as well. This is a book not to be missed!

Summary: Danny's life is frustrating, amazing and quite entertaining
Review: I am too young to have ever watched the Partridge Family, but I was still completely entertained by Danny's book. Like him or not, this is a must read if for no other reason than to see what other lifestyles exist. Not to mention the inspiration of a life gone from one end of the scale to the other. Danny is witty, funny and terribly honest with the world not to mention about himself. Check this book out!

Summary: This is a great book!
Review: I enjoyed reading this book very much. Danny has a wonderful sense of humor. He is proof that someone can go through a lot of bad experiences and still come out on top. I applaud him for that.

Summary: Damned Good Book
Review: I read Mr. Bonaduce's book from cover-to-cover in a single night. I knew him vaguely in Los Angeles, in 1980-something (I really don't remember those years too well), via mutual friends, and he was a wild, messed-up [person] -just like everybody else back then and there, in Hollywood...a lovely, wild, fun place, much like Sodom and Gomorrah must have been before they put in the mini-malls. The delightful thing about Danny Bonaduce is that he is, and has always been, purely Danny Bonaduce, without excuses. It's not "The Partridge Family" movie; it's Danny Bonaduce being honest, and funny, and always accepting the fact that he had been a f..k- up at one time in his life...okay, many times in his life. He doesn't blame his family, his up-bringing, or his "child-stardom"...that would be too easy of a way out-Danny Bonaduce doesn't do anything easy, or simply, even if it may have seemed like the easy way at the time. ...then you get bored with it, or find someone who gets bored with you when you are that way. Mr. Bonaduce got lucky-he found someone who loved him enough to make him love himself. I've never met his wife, Gretchen, but, after reading his book, and hearing him speak of her, I'm fairly certain she is one of those few angels who have found their way to earth.Crux of review: Mr. Bonaduce doesn't take that now-boring route of blaming his problems on his childhood, his "too-early" success, or being afflicted by some mysterious inherent disease-he just tells it like it is, pure and simple. Mr. Bonaduce merely admits that he was an a__hole for a long time, and that now he's better. He cured himself-with a little help from his friends...mainly, his best friend, his wife. We've all read the ... tear-jerkers, and have seen the "former child-stars in AA" specials, and, frankly, it becomes a little tiresome...really gets to be a bit too much to ask you to weep for someone making [more dollars] a year, ..., when most of the country is still cooking up new versions of spam-casserole and wondering if that long-distance call to mom last week may just put you over budget. It's nice, for a change, to hear an honest story about a man who isn't afraid to tell us he is just human, and remind us that we all make mistakes sometimes, and that we can overcome those mistakes, even without the benefit of gazillion dollar rehab centers and scandal magazines that set out to shame you, or at least attempt to, just for a few extra sales points. Mr. Bonaduce didn't have to tell his story to the world, but he did-maybe it's just the entertainer in him, always willing to please his public and give them what they want. Maybe he will help a lot of people who went through what he did, and many are still going through it. No matter how you want to define it, Danny Bonaduce gives you a good read, without apologies, and with apologies. He's a complex man, and he gives you the simplicity of pure truth. He's no longer "Danny Partridge". He's Danny Bonaduce, the grown-up man, and the star he always was-you can take that on both a professional and personal level-either way, he's a star. Good luck, Dan, if you should ever read this, and thanks. Donn Kean

Summary: Not such a bad guy...............now
Review: I read this book from cover to cover in no time at all. Icouldn't put it down. Danny Bonaduce is a very interesting character and I never realized just how bad things got for him. This is a great story of a "bad boy" turned good. If you grew up in the era of "The Partridge Family" or the "Brady Bunch", you will truly appreciate Danny's story. All in all a great read.

Summary: One of the most entertaining books to date.
Review: I'm not going to lie, I don't read very often (for pleasure.) When I saw that Danny Bonaduce had come out with a "Tell All" book I had to read it. It was laugh out loud funny! I love this guy! It is an over 400 pages long of just plain DANNY being himself! If you think you heard it all about him, you probly have. It is just more entertaining hearing it from himself. This also a story of a changed man who got married and grew the hell up. I even found out by reading chapter 33. "Detroit: Oh, Yea! I was there for a While," that he lived a mile from my house where I lived all my life. He talks about living in Bloomfield Hills. I didn't know this when I bumped into him in Los Angeles a few months prior. I would have said "Hey neighbor!" No, but if I do bump into him again, it will be tempting. I found out that Danny bad mouthed Detroit whenever he got the chance on his radio show. I just want to say I fully agree with you Danny, I hate this fricken city too. The only good thing is Eminem and the auto industry. Oh, and lets not forget your radio show when it were broadcast here. Keep doing what you do. Everyone who read this book (look at the great comments) appreciates you. You make "The Other Half" a great series. It is worth it to get up at 11:00AM, when I don't have to just to watch it.
