Average Rating: 
Rating: - Good read; sounds like him.
I didn't scream with laughter the way I do when he's talking, but I could hear his voice in the book. Too short I think, but it's not some detailed biography--it's a quick presentation, like his typical stories. I reckon if you hadn't heard him talk, it wouldn't read as funny as it does for me. But Mr. Rickles has class and heart and that comes through loud and clear; and that counts for a lot.
Rating: - A Nice Guy!
This is a sort of mini biography of Don Rickles. A collection of reminiscences arranged chronologically beginning with his childhood, the book is easy and fun to read. There are some laughs and some great anecdotes from the glory days of The Rat Pack. For example , the boys are in a steam room and Frank Sinatra tells Don "You're not getting enough publicity Don, the public needs to see more of you" So they grab a naked and struggling Rickles and carry him outside to the pool and leave him there in ...

Rating:  - Glad I Borrowed From Library
Just finished reading Rickles' Book. Although "entertaining" and funny, I was mostly disappointed. All chapters very short, doubled spaced, many blank pages. The 239 pages could have been condensed to thirty-nine, with pictures. Glad I did not purchase this book and borrowed from local library.
Rating:  - Don still hitting stride
I really enjoyed this book. It's nice to read a book with a happy ending and that doesn't involve some evil dark side of a comedian. I believe if Don was born into today's generation he'd be twice the superstar. A man ahead of his time.
The best parts of the book are when he recalls his old acts and jokes. At least twelve times I laughed outloud. If I had to say something bad about this book it would be that we didn't get enough stories and jokes. Don was blessed to grow up in the amazing ... Read More
Rating: - Good Book, easy read
This book was very good. You get to see a side of Rickle's you don't normally see. The side that loves his mother, wife, and friends with all his heart. Every story is very interesting. It's crazy how many celebrities he is close friends with. It's not necessarily one of the funniest books I've read but if you like Rickles you will definitely enjoy this book.
