Summary: A Hilarious and Redemption Seeking Bio
Review: Such a pleasure to read a life story of someone who doesn't blame anyone for his troubles but himself. Danny recounts horrific incidents of abuse at the hands of his dad, his decent into crack, his marriage to the woman who made him into what he is today - a respected radio and tv man, a terrific father (which is amazing because of what he endured as a child) and a loving husband (who still likes to look at pretty girls). Even though his experience borderline on tragic, this is an extremely well written, hilarious book that you will find very hard to put down.

Summary: Not great, not terrible
Review: This wasn't a bad book, just not as good as it could have been (or as good as I'd hoped it to be). While there are a few laugh-out-loud moments, I expected it to be much funnier, based on the review excerpts printed in the book. (I know, I know, I shouldn't have fallen for that...)While he has no qualms about dishing the dirt on a variety of people with whom he's worked, he notes that he doesn't discuss his family out of respect to their privacy. Seems more than a bit hypocritical to me. With an abusive, but successful Hollywood father, he alludes to, but goes into very little detail around the chaos that must have existed at home. More discussion around this might help us better understand him and some of the choices he made. The pictures in the book aren't terribly revealing and none show him in his down-and-out period. The caption of the picture with Danny in the ring with Donny Osmond is hilarious and the story of their boxing match is pretty funny, too. While I applaud his candor about his struggles with drugs and alcohol, if you really want to read an honest account of someone who's been to hell and back, read Chuck Negron's Three Dog Nightmare. That guy went through the wringer and lived to tell about it. This book is a very quick read and while it's not great, it's not terrible, either.

Summary: Random Acts is an addiction till the very last page!!
Review: Want a book that takes you away from it all? you got it . want a story of a real human with troubles, and tribulations to make your own life seem dull? Its right here. Danny's self depreciating style is at once entertaining and heartwarming in that the good guys Do finish first but he who laughs last, laughs best. And Danny on the air is still laughing his @$$ off.This book is a must read. Yes, you must. If you miss it, you will have missed a great story by one heck of a real deal kind of guy.
