Probably one of my favorite books I have ever read is truly a masterpiece. It has the power to make me burst into laughter countless times. Over the years, there have been many occasions when I simply had to put the book down because the humor was so intense that I couldn't contain my laughter. The characters in the book are vivid and full of personality, and their antics and dialogues are what make it so hilarious. It's not just a book that makes you laugh; it also has a deeper meaning and message that makes you think. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good laugh and a thought-provoking read.

Howard Stern is a fascinating figure, and reading about his journey from the beginning is truly interesting.

The book about him provided a much more in-depth and detailed account compared to the movie. It seems that's often the case, isn't it? After delving into all the experiences he had endured, I found myself having a bit more compassion for him.

In fact, it even inspired me for a short period. However, despite that, I still can't overlook the fact that he can be rather crude and unrefined at times. He has his flaws, and that's just the reality.

Overall, the story of Howard Stern is a complex one, filled with both inspiration and controversy. It makes for a captivating read, and I'm glad I took the time to explore it further.

3 1/2 stars.

I am not a fan of the radio show. In fact, I last listened to it in the mid-80s. However, this book is a completely different story. It is a very funny and revealing read.

Underneath all the bathroom humor that Howard Stern is known for, there is a side of him that is witty, intelligent, and highly entertaining. The book offers a unique perspective into his life and career, and it is filled with anecdotes and stories that will keep you engaged from start to finish.

I have to admit that I also enjoyed the movie based on the book. It captured the essence of Howard Stern's personality and the humor that he brings to the table. Overall, this book is a great read for anyone who is interested in Howard Stern or just looking for a good laugh.

I didn't really learn anything from this experience, but it was indeed quite amusing. It was a strange and unexpected encounter that left me with a sense of entertainment.

Despite not gaining any new knowledge or skills, the moment was filled with a certain charm and lightheartedness. It was one of those rare occasions that made me smile and forget about the more serious aspects of life for a while.

Love the Stern, Love Sirius. These words hold a special meaning for me. The stern, with its imposing presence and unwavering stance, represents strength and stability. And Sirius, the bright and shining star, symbolizes hope and inspiration.

Together, they form a powerful combination that makes my heart skip a beat. I find myself drawn to their allure, unable to resist the charm they exude.

Whether it's the sight of the stern or the twinkle of Sirius in the night sky, they both have the ability to touch my soul and make me feel a sense of wonder and joy.

Well, I have to say that I actually liked this book.

I never really thought much about Howard before. I had only heard about him. My guy has Sirius radio, and we sometimes take 3 - 6 hour trips, especially in the summer months for car shows and camping.

Over the past few years, I've been forced to listen without being able to escape. At first, like many others, I was a bit annoyed. But then, after a couple of interviews, I realized he is interesting in a unique way.

I love to read, and some of the books I've read are far worse (I can't think of a better word to replace "worse") than anything Howard has ever broadcast on his radio or done live.

Has anyone ever read "Natural Law" by Joey Hill? I'm giving this book a 5 rating because it's a well-written book that provides a biographical story of Howard's life.

What inspired me to get this book was that he has a new book coming out. When I looked into it, I found this one, so I felt the need to read it before getting the new one.

Thumbs up to you, Howard, and your team. Especially Robin!!!!! And regarding the hate mail.....this only shows that you have to "listen" or "watch" to make the choice to send what I call a review.

I'm glad I gave this book a chance and discovered a new side of Howard. It's always interesting to learn about different people and their lives through books.

I'm looking forward to reading his new book and seeing what else he has to share.

I am not a Stern fan, although I once was, and that may influence my review.

However, I did not find the book funny nor informative. It is, as other reviewers have noted, quick mindless reading.

I think one's appreciation of the book will vary depending on how big a Stern fan one is. Since I am not a fan, I sped through it, was bored much of the time, and was glad when I finished it.

The book seemed to lack depth and substance. It didn't offer any real insights or interesting stories.

Maybe for die-hard Stern fans, it might have some appeal, but for someone like me who has lost interest in him, it was a disappointment.

I expected more from a book that was supposed to be about his life and career.

Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone who is not a huge Stern fan.

Hey now.

I was in high school when I would literally do my homework while listening to Stern. He was on 'BCN from like 7 to 11. I would close my door and spend about 30 minutes of work over a span of 3 hours because he was so extremely entertaining.

The book provided a great background of his DC & WNBC days and filled in a lot of the stories that were referenced on the show. It was really interesting to learn about the behind-the-scenes details and how his career developed.

Listening to Stern while doing homework was a unique experience. His humor and energy would keep me engaged, even though I should have been focusing solely on my studies. But in a way, it made the whole process more enjoyable.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to listen to him during that time and to read this book that added more depth to my understanding of his journey.

I was born in 1990 and throughout my childhood, I constantly heard about how terrible and repulsive Howard Stern was. As a young child, I had no clue what on earth he was discussing or why it was considered so bad. My parents never provided me with an explanation. Instead, whenever I asked, they simply said, "He's scum." However, as an adult, I now have a certain degree of respect for the man.


I am aware that this book was published more than twenty years ago, yet it still contains a great deal of value and truth about the world we inhabit. The FCC and the government continue to censor and control what we read, listen to, and watch. There is still an ongoing immigration problem. People still get offended by the most insignificant things. They take matters too seriously and overreact.


Howard Stern is indeed an asshole. But he is also highly entertaining and hilarious. This book was both entertaining and absurd! I am glad that he is still around and still hosting his show.

At the time of this release, I was an extremely dedicated Stern listener, eagerly anticipating the opportunity to read the book.

After delving into it, I was truly impressed. I regarded it as an excellent biography that comprehensively chronicled Howard's career.

What made it even more captivating was its unique blend of humor, strangeness, and a certain element of titillation.

I have always held a liking for Stern and firmly supported his right to pursue his own interests. However, like most mature adults, my interest in him waned over time.

Nonetheless, everyone has their own preferences.

For those individuals who are intrigued by the self-proclaimed King of All Media, this book is an absolute must-read.

It is important to note, though, that it may not be suitable for the overly prudish.

Overall, it offers a fascinating insight into the life and career of Howard Stern.

I recently read a softbound book that I borrowed from the library over the past few evenings.

Overall, I would rate it 3.5 stars out of 5.

The book does have some truly hilarious parts that made me laugh out loud. However, it felt a bit bloated and could have benefited from some careful editing to trim down the excess.

Another aspect that didn't quite work for me was the pictures. In the hardbound version, they might have been effective, but in this softbound format, they were all but indecipherable.

The book reminded me of the movie Dumb And Dumber, although it was perhaps a bit less mature.

Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend it to any male who is still in his teenage years or who is interested in reliving the humorous moments of his adolescence.

It's a light and entertaining read that can provide some good laughs.

Just don't expect a literary masterpiece.

Meh...

It seemed as if Howard was trying way too hard to be interesting. He was constantly cracking jokes that fell flat, and his attempts at being charming came across as forced.

He would tell long and convoluted stories that failed to engage the listeners, and his over-the-top gestures and expressions only served to make him look more desperate.

It was almost painful to watch as he struggled to hold the attention of the group.

Maybe he should just relax and be himself instead of trying so hard to fit in and be the center of attention.

Sometimes, being genuine and authentic is more interesting than any amount of forced humor or charm.

I am an extremely huge fan of Howard's radio show. It is truly entertaining to obtain more in-depth details regarding a great number of the stories that he relates on the air. The show offers a unique opportunity to peek behind the curtain and discover the fascinating backstories and nuances that add depth and richness to his tales.






Moreover, it is also highly interesting to observe how he has changed over the years. One can witness the evolution of his personality, his views, and his approach to various topics. It is like watching a living, breathing entity transform and grow before your very ears.






Overall, Howard's radio show is not only a source of entertainment but also a platform for personal growth and discovery. It allows listeners to engage with his stories and learn from his experiences, while also providing a window into his ever-changing world.
