I love Carlin's way of explaining things in such a "skewed but right on the money" kind of way. Growing up Catholic, I totally relate to much of his perspective. ( )

I mostly dropped it because it did not hold my interest. I probably was not in the mood to be reading an autobiography at this time. It has interesting moments, and he did feature some of his humor, but the book just did not catch my attention. I kept putting it off, so it was time to let go. However, I do think some fans will likely enjoy it. ( )

A story of loss, love and life in an quirky Newfoundland town and how the lives of these people intertwine. E. Annie Proulx writing and story telling is beautiful. ( )

Fun, quick read. Some insights to his genius are revealed. He left out lots of his life and revealed his narcissism. He is one of the few humans to have earned it though. A true American icon in my view. He gives a nod to AA in the end but shows he never really got some of its core concepts, more evidence of the narcissism. It was a good book to expand views on all sorts of topics. ( )

Carlin takes us on a long and varied journey through his life. He shares his many up and downs, his successes and failures. This is a must read. ( )
