Bootleg

Summary: A Fast, Funny Read
Review: Continuing the trend of stand-up comedians putting their act on the printed page, Bootleg offers small snippets of Damon Wayans' wit and wisdom on a variety of topics, including, but not limited to, race, marriage, kids, sex, pets, and growing up "Po". I especially enjoyed the stories about his famous siblings when they were all kids. The book is VERY slim, and most pages are only 1/2 to 3/4 filled, so it's a REALLY quick read, but as Damon points out in the book, if it makes me laugh, it's ok. I laughed a LOT, so it was worth the price. Lots of fun!

Summary: Some of the best comedy in years
Review: Damon has came a long way since In Living Color and it shows. This book of standup material is a riot. Strange though that his brother gets into Scary Movie but I digress. If you like humor it's all good.

Summary: Remarkable & humerous way to express pressing issues.
Review: Damon Wayons has done it again. He has found another way to bless America with his gift of laughter. "Bootleg" is another form of Damon's comedy expressed to make people see the funny side of life but at the same time, the upsets and other trying issues that effect people in everyday life. I really enjoyed this book and have recommended it to other readers. Damon always knows how to make you smile on your worst day. I also found the contributions by aspiring writer, David Asbery to be very beneficial. He is definately on his way to being a prominent writer that will be noted for detail & truth. It seems that he also puts his heart and soul into his work. David, keep striving. Damon, well done.

Summary: Damon's First, and Hopefully not last
Review: Damon's book, Bootleg is funny. To really enjoy it is to have missed a lot of his stand-up act's on cable and what not. I gave it four stars because it was funny, but a lot of his old stand-up material was in it. Now if a lot of new material was in it, then, I would have given it 5 stars,..like Drew Carey's Dirty Jokes & Beer. It's a riot for those who can identify with being Black back in the 60's and 70's. I would definatley read another book from Wayans if he were to make a sophmore attempt,..I don't doubt that it would be any less comical.

Summary: SOME PARTS FUNNY--SOME PARTS NOT!!!
Review: I enjoyed most of the book. There were parts that had me rolling. However, most of the jokes I heard before. It was a good effort but new jokes should have been included.

Summary: Bootleg is the funniest book I have ever read
Review: It's funny, Its been a long time since I read bootleg, but it still gives me the chuckles. Damon Wayans is a comic genius, I only wish he could get back into the limelight again with movies or comedy specials. For anybody who writes him off as just another black comedian, you have to read this book!!!! Well worth the price I paid.

Summary: This is a funny book
Review: Ok, first of all, I am white. And Damon makes a lot of jokes about being black and also being white. He picks on both races. And both are funny. He says that all white guys use the word "dude." Well, I think he's right! Bascially, this book is really funny. It's not all race jokes, though. He makes jokes about women, and children. I haven't seen any of his stand-up specials, so maybe that's why I thought this was so funny. If you like to laugh, then this is a good book to read.

Summary: Bootleg? More like a Hail Mary.
Review: To this day I still like Damon Wayans the comic actor, but not so much as Damon Wayans the comic. Bootleg took me a whole four nights to get through. It has it's moments but for the most part Wayans really doesn't tell you anything that says "hey, I'm different than other black comics... or other comics for that matter." Perhaps the only subject that he goes after that other comics don't is him dissing his movie "Blankman." Just reading the back of the book that's a bit about Magic Johnson's attempt into late night talk shows kind of summs the whole book up. For the Wayans fan you're better off finding his "best of" from "In Living Color." The only other good thing I can say is that the book was given to me as a gift by my brother, and therefore none of my cash was wasted on it.
