Too Fat to Fish

As far as I know, he said it was a great book, funny and honest

I been a big Stern fan since the 90's! Additionally, I been a big Artie fan since he joined the show. Although he does a lot of 'Wahing!' throughout the book regarding his self-inflicted F' ups, I did find it entertaining and well written. I couldn't decide whether to feel sorry for this guy or just categorize him as an F' up! You be the judge!!

It is definitely worth a read!

As I heard elsewhere, this is a very ordinary book if you listen to Howard Stern. Most of these stories have been told on air with some juicy tidbits here and there but it is nothing new...
I will add that it is a great insight on addictive minds and how they work. Artie talks openly about his alcohol, gambling, cocaine, prescription pills, and heroin addiction. It also shows great insight on what the though process is behind the addictive thinking and the self-destructive thoughts, and how paranoia sets in. I also loved the military tribute in the last chapter.
I kinda of enjoy it but parts that I already knew got boring.

Absolutely the best book I've ever read!! I spend 12 days on a cruise ship recently and read this book from cover to cover. I also got the audio book for Christmas and it was even better than the written book. There's something special hearing Artie telling the story.

I would recommend this book to everyone!!

I have been a Stern fan for about 20 Years. Listen to him every day during my 1 hour commute to work. I am a fan of Arty too. I figured it would be a great idea to buy Arty's Book on CD's for this trip during the Stern show holiday vacation.
My opininion?.....Firstly, you have to get passed the HORRIBLE Narators for the book. It is so painful to listen to you are resisting yourself to not turn it off. The simple fact of having to continue, similar to not beeing able to look away from a car reck, brings you through Arty's pathetic stories. Secondly, it is his unbelievable honesty that got me to the end of the CDs. Much of the stories have been played on Stern and are entertaining. Story after story it gets very monotonous and depressing. Knowing what I know now, find someone that has listened to the cd's and borrow from them. Dont waste your money! Its your high expectation that is enticing you to purchase the book/cds. Resist the urge, you will be disapointed if you spend the money.
