"In his second book, Adam Carolla--author of New York Times bestseller In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks and chart-topping podcaster--reveals all the stories behind how he came to be the angry middle-aged man he is today. Funnyman Adam Carolla is known for two things: hilarious rants about things that drive him crazy and personal stories about everything from his hardscrabble childhood to his slacker friends to the hypocrisy of Hollywood. 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"--… (meer)

Yes, genius! Not Einsteinian genius for sure, but genius nonetheless. Adam's a dying breed – a celebrity with common sense, insightful wit, and working-class wisdom. He's got that rare ability to take any situation, break it down, then sum it right back up again into some clever and irrefutable blue-collar soliloquy that anyone with half a brain can understand. Corolla is a master storyteller! He's written several books, but this one covers his well below-par childhood during the 1970s and 80s in North Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley (an LA suburb – not wonderful then, terrible now), his hippie, uptight, white-guilt-ridden mom, her boyfriends, his friends, his many different "homes", jobs, and all kinds of cash strapped, pre-Internet, pre-social media, and pre-cell phone juvenile nuttiness. Read, and often tangentially digressed, by Adam himself, as only he can do. If you don’t laugh out loud there’s something wrong with you! ( )

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. ( )

Lots of funny stories but not as good as Adam's last book. ( )

I read this on a cross county flight. It's not great. There are some LOL moments throughout the book, but the misogyny gets in the way. There were probably as many cringe worthy bits and LOL bits in the book. ( )

I enjoyed the depth of this memoir - an interesting look into what it's like to grow up as a poor white guy in Los Angeles.
What I did not enjoy was the rape 'jokes' scattered throughout.I have a feeling that's Carolla's style of humor. ( )
