Summary: How Could You Not Own This?
Review: This is a great book, it gives you in sight to Lenny Bruces mind.
Not truthfully at all times, but even when hes lieing to you-you still get up at 3:00 am to finish how he felt about it. This was an important project to Lenny, and if you apperciate this man and all his talent,How Could You Not Own This Book?!

Summary: A great story-teller telling a great story
Review: This is the best way to get to know Lenny Bruce -- Lenny in his own words. Yes, Lenny Bruce broke down social barriers and is the father of modern comedy. You've probably already heard that his struggles with the law bankrupt him and eventually left him dead -- that story is here too. But the main thing you take away from this book is HOW Bruce earned his reputation as a ground-breaker -- he got there by being funny. Its Lenny's storytelling that keeps you captivated and laughing -- the controversy around him is just material for some of those stories. Lenny tells great stories, and while this book is a David vs Goliath story, it is also a rags to riches story, a legal thriller, a behind-the-scenes of showbiz story, a love story, and much more. This autobiography is a great place to get to know Lenny Bruce. Its easier to digest than his often hard-to-find recordings and its really funny. Funny. That's all you really need to know before you pick up this book.

Summary: you don't even have to know who he is
Review: You don't have to be a fan of Lenny Bruce to love this book, you don't have to really know who he is (I really only know him from a few recordings and by reputation). This book is funny. This book is still a valuable piece of social satire and criticism. This book is an interesting story. This book is a piece of history. This book is great. This book should be read.
