Summary: IT'S A MASTERPIECE!
Review: Tom Arnold is not only one of the best comedians around, but an amazing author. From the first chapter I knew I was not going to be able to put the book down. I went from laughing to crying to laughing in minutes. He talks about real life and the hardships that come along with it (his life) and he sprinkles humor into every sentence that ends up leaving you in stiches. The book is emotional, sincere and hilarious. I read the book in one night and I want more!!! I highly recommend you buying the book.

Summary: Move Over, Shakespeare, an Arnold's Pushin' the Pen!
Review: Tom Arnold's _How I Lost Five Pounds in Six Years_ is just what this family needs! This tome is about the best exposure our wonderful and tight-knit little clan is going to get, so let's build on it! I had just finished Scott Spencer's delightfully humorous and understated novel, _Endless Love_. After that insouciant romp through the flowers, I wasn't in the mood for another lighthearted comedy/romance. So, I went in search of something that looked deep within a man's tortured psyche. Yes, the characters in Spencer's novel added laughter and smiles to my day, but I wanted and needed something dark, overbearing, and consuming (obviously, something Spencer will never be known for). For this reason, I took a calculated risk on Tom Arnold's autobiography. Within a few pages, _How I Lost Five Pounds in Six Years_ quickly confirmed that Arnold's book would be a rare find. Most reviewers found that they could immediately understand their own sub-human and primitive nature through the sullen memories of Tom's tortured childhood. One reviewer spoke for us all when he wrote, "[when] I read about how Tom spent his youth [killing pigs in a slaughterhouse], I couldn't help but connect his dehumanizing job with all of the inner feelings of hatred and moribund humanity that I had built-up through the years." It appears that thanks to Tom's willingness to put it all on the line, almost everyone can find new ways to scale life's toughest ramparts. As a fan of hog carcass splitters and "bung droppers," nothing made me realize, so quickly, that we Arnolds have a lot in common when it comes time to slaughter the pigs. We can better understand our family, our heritage, and, in fact, each other, through Tom's courageous attempts to bring the world around him into focus.
