Summary: A Must Read!!!
Review: I absolutley loved this book. I thought the title was intriguing so I bought it. I was delighfully surprised. Mr. Chester is one of the best writers I have had the privelege to read in a long time. This book is hilarious, touching and insightful. I hope he writes another book soon. We need more writers like him. I have not laughed nor been moved so much by a book in a very long time. Kudos to you Mr. Chester for writing such a wonderful book and sharing your fascinating life with us.

Summary: Laugh! Laugh! Laugh!
Review: I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a book this much! With the exception of a particular sad point in his life, Craig Chester's story was incredibly entertaining. Considering my reading was done mainly outdoors, I received numerous wondering looks from people around me because I would burst out laughing! Craig Chester puts his words in such a way that you can't help but enjoy yourself page after page. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking to smile and laugh while they read!

Summary: No long face here! This book is more than wonderful
Review: OK, it's probably not fair of me to write here because: a) I read the first draft of this book and b) I'm in it. But here goes:Not even 40 (OK, not even CLOSE to 40), Craig has lived at least three lives already. This book only touches the tip of the iceberg. Craig has already proven his acting mettle in God knows how many films; now he proves that his writing is even better. (I told you this in 1988, but...oh well...) Perhaps only people who have truly touched the dark side of life can acquire a really razor-sharp and hysterical wit about their down sides. (Is it a coincidence that tortured-til-she-dropped Judy Garland was also able to laugh even in the face of the most outrageous adversity?) Craig proves he doesn't sweat the small stuff, because he's dealt so very amusingly with tons of big stuff. But even at his lowest point, Craig makes it all sound so FUN you wish you'd been there, too. The biggest compliment I can give to Craig is this: Even if I never knew you and hadn't been at least on the periphery of much of what you describe, I would have still eaten this book with an obscenely huge appetite. I forced myself to only read 20 pages a day to make sure it would last. I can say that about very few authors.
