I picked this up to read on a whim. I got the book from a friend months ago and wasn't planning on reading it right away- I thought it'd be years before I actually started it. Then I just grabbed it one morning when I stuck on about three or four other books I just couldn't get into.
I started flying through these pages. I think you have to already find Howard Stern funny to like this though. There are scores of people who would be highly offended by even the "mild" stuff he says here. By even the most mild pictures in the book too. But for people used to Stern's sense of humor and for people that enjoy his sense of humor, this is an awesome book.
I laughed numerous times, actually out loud. More than once I had someone look at me like I was nuts.
I will admit that he does come off as full of himself. I don't know, there are much worse things than being full of yourself in my opinion so that tends to not bother me so much. Just something I noticed- it's hard not to notice it actually.
I enjoyed the parts where he talked about the FCC the most I think. I knew about some of it but I had no idea they'd gone after him to that extent. I think it's insane. I can't believe certain stores banned his book and sold others that showed more nudity on the cover and/or had more explicit subjects. Makes no sense to me. That a store would blot out Stern's name and his book title from a LIST and actually alter another companys list is absolutely crazy to me. I don't think it's fair for anyone to tell me what I can and can't read.
The letters from fans and from non-fans were awesome too! I loved how he stuck some little stories in from Allison and Robin- it was cool to her their thoughts on things too.
I'll definitely read it if he writes another.
