Editorial Review:
Following Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour to the page, Ron White (affectionately known as Tater Salad) delivers the laughs in his distinctive and beloved down-home style. Fans of Ron Whites perfectly-phrased everyman gripes and raunchy, grinning asides* will find much to appreciate here. He riffs on everything from obnoxious designer sunglass salesmen to his wifes wealthy but stingy family, and he revisits some of his most famous characters, such as his troublesome dog Sluggo (He ran away all day. He was gone for ten hours. So, to punish him, when he came home I took him for a walk.).
Best of all, Whites hilarious material is accompanied here by clever artistic interpretations, courtesy of illustrator Matthew Schulz. BACKCOVER: Ron Whites comedy is about as understated as a chainsaw, and twice as sharp.
STAR TRIBUNE (MINNEAPOLIS) Whites inspired comic mind finds a dozen sources of humor where the average comic would find only one or two, while making a fine art of the deadpan style.

Rating:  - Laughs on Every Page
I can't say I'm a huge fan of Jeff Foxworthy. Like everyone, I guess, I enjoy his "redneck" humor but what I appreciate the most about him is that he has helped bring a number of other comedians to the world in the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour." One of the comedians who owes the most to Foxworthy is Ron White, a debt "Tater Salad" acknowledges very clearly in this book. Foxworthy deserves his kudos, then, because Ron White is, in my opinion, the funniest of the "blue collar" comedians.

Rating: - its hard to read because you are laughing so much !
Ron White is a very very funny man, its hard to read his books because you have to stop laughing in order to see the next word !
We really enjoyed it.
Rating: - Foxworthy, What Has thou Wrought?
Ron White is not JUST a Comedian, like Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy (and a handful of others like Bernie Mac, Kat Williams and Chris Rock), he has become a genuine American institution. He is the "genuine article" and this book tells why.
Not only does it contain all of his most famous jokes, but the least famous ones as well. It gives us a window into his soul, the very reasons for his immense talent: It grows directly out of his experiences, which are nothing if not a checkerboard ... Read More
Rating:  - Not what I was looking for in this book.
Very fast and easy read. However, it was not what I was looking for in this book. It is comprised mostly of Ron's stage material with a few intimate life details. I was looking for more life details past, present, and future of Ron's life. All in all good read for folks not famaliar with his stand up routine.
Rating:  - Funny Entertaining Reading
If you have seen Ron White's routine on TV, you will see some of the same material in this book. You will also find a lot of new information about his life & work. Frankly, Ron should have been dead a long time ago as a result of the way he lives. But he has survived and made money doing it. Good book for adults. However, it is loaded with stories about sex, drugs & alcohol abuse, so it is not a book you want your junior redneck reading.
