If you like Mr. Carolla's podcast, this book is largely redundant. However, borrow it from the library and read the last 15 pages which are oddly beautiful and sweet. ( ) Carolla, Adam Not Taco Bell Material Nonfiction Adam's story is reminiscent of that legendary species of crab that can be collected in a bucket and left unattended, for when one of them attempts to escape the others pull him/her back in.

In spite of bad DNA (his claim, not my judgment), Adam successfully climbs out of the bucket. He's no longer a crab. He's evolved into a caring husband and father—who still likes fart jokes.

He tackled rants in his first book, and now he tells his best stories and debuts some never-before-heard tales as well. Organized by the myriad "dumps" Carolla called home--through the flophouse apartments he rented in his twenties, up to the homes he personally renovated after achieving success in Hollywood--the anecdotes here follow Adam's journey and the hilarious pitfalls along the way. Adam Carolla started broke and blue collar and has now been on the Hollywood scene for over fifteen years, yet he never lost his underdog demeanor. He's still connected to the working class guy he once was, and delivers a raw and edgy, fish-out-of-water take on the world he lives in (but mostly disagrees with), telling all the stories, no matter who he offends--family, friends or the famous"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
