Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant!!!
Review: I just can't say enough good things about this book. In his book, Mancow has the ability to captivate the audience and keep them interested right until the very end. However, I would have to say that this is not a book that should be read while at work, due to the intense (and grafic) situations he gets himself into! Mancow does give some REALLY good advice to the men in the audience about how to achieve sexual happiness. This book is definately worth reading again, and I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone!!!! Love you Mancow!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wild ride
Review: I just recently held a booksigning for Mancow at my store in Chicago (in fact, just 2 hours ago). What really struck me, and I'm sure will strike many readers, is that Erich (Mancow) is a very down to earth personable guy and it shows in this book. His mindset and work is "on" 24-7. Sure we have the crazy mixture of girls, booze, drugs, and downright fall on the floor funny humor...but there is so much more to Mr. Muller in the pages of this book. Many personal observations on life, politics, manhood and the bond between fathers and sons hit home in this book. Dedicated to his father who passed from cancer, those who are undergoing similar trials can read from a kindred soul who's been there. Not just for fans of his Morning Madhouse Show, this is a highly entertaining read. A solid run down "freedom road". Keep on rockin' you crazy ninjas!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Em.. an interesting book
Review: I like it because it really a good references for us on communication to our younger generation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Super sexy stud of a book
Review: I LOVED this book. Mancow is such a treasure. He speaks the truth and doesn't beat around the bush. I love his quick and witty "on the edge of your seat" style of writing. Plus he is soo cute. As a gay man like myself, I couldn't stop thinking about how sexy he is while I was reading his book. Now that I've read it I think he is even sexier! If he only knew what I wanted to do to him! Buy the book today - if no other reason then just to see the sexy pics of Cow!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good book
Review: I purchased this book after hearing stories from a buddy in chicago who listens to mancow all the time and i was not disappointed with it.It is very funny with him explaining his adventures in amsterdam and some of his freakshow events and a little sad with his dead dads club and dealing with his own fathers death. Made me want to go out and buy tickets for amsterdam.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nicely Paced Look at Real Man Behind Celebrity
Review: I tend to dread the books by entertainers who think because they've succeeded in movies, television, or in this case radio, they must be qualified to write a book. It's become a guilty dread though, I look forward to reading bad memoirs so that I can point out how unqualified the entertainer turned author is to dabble in literary waters.

With all that said, every once in a while I find a memoir that has something to offer and is worth reading.

Radio shock jock Mancow Muller and his co-author John Calkins dig beyond the Zoo Crew high jinx of the morning show host and touch on some real issues of the man beneath the image. There is a nice flow between the absurd and the touching.

On par with Carl Reiner's My Anecdotal Life, Rikki Lee Travolta's My Fractured Life, and Bruce Campbell's If Chins Could Kill. A nicely paced book that deals with some real emotions behind the glamour of celebrity.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Mancowmercial Loses Fan Base
Review: I used to listed to Eric Muller, aka Mancow, for many years. I heard him and his taughting Free Speech Radio in Chicago. His programs were funny, original, and he approached his show from the eye level of his fans. At one point he had a television show, similar to Stern's, which aired in Chicago...albeit for a brief period of time.

Unfortunately, those days of glory and purpose are long gone. He has become a self-servicing sell out like his contemporaries who used to be called "shock jocks". The has beens he ridicules and makes light of. Today, he plugs his book more often than a porno star gets nailed.

Timing his shows would reveal how much of his Free Speech Radio Network has become corporate sponsored. You can't go more then 5 minutes without 3 minutes of cowmercials. He blames his program manager, and Fox (the owner of his now nationally syndicated show). He'll criticize "the suits" who are only looking at the profitability of today's media, and turn around and hypocritically cowmercialize his book (as he says, its his duty).

As they say, if you don't like what you're listenting to, then turn it off. I've done that. I'll check in from time to time to listen and hopefully hear the old Mancow who was fired from another local radio station for his antics. That's the old Mancow his true fans adore. Unfortunately, fame and money is power. Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely. Mancow sold out after experiencing all the benefits that go with a higher income...at the expense of his fans since the days in California. For that reason, I won't spend a penny on his book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you haven't heard his show, read this book!
Review: I've been a fan of his show since he came to chicago in 1994. This book went deeper into his show than he reveals normally. It goes very personally into his life, and lets you ride with him during all his hard times and good times. I did however find this book to be a little scatter brained (one moment you're in germany, the next you're back 20 years in missouri), but it's to be expected since this book was written more like a journal format than a made up story (which it's not). If you've never heard his show, you'll find this book very entertaining (which I have listening to his show), and maybe it'll get you hooked enough to start listening to his show!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Love the show
Review: If you're a long time listener of the show, the book is really not a must read book. Sorry, love show, but the book is just not a page turner. If you're not a fan of the show the book will only get one or two stars. The sentimental part of the book where Man Cow''s father has cancer is something everybody can relate too, sickness in the family, and you do feel what Cow is saying. The Amsterdam trip very fun reading especially if you've been to Amsterdam like I have, then you can relate just how free the people in the Netherlands are or how low. Five stars on show.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: YOU CALL THIS A BOOK?
Review: INCREDIBLY GOOD CURE FOR INSOMNIA, THAT'S ABOUT IT.
SCREW YOU, COW!!!
