Too Fat to Fish

From all people...the king of "WAH! WAH! WAH!" we get a book full of just that. I'm a big fan of Lange and the Stern show when Lange is doing his thing...but this?...Artie needs a WAHbulance to take him off to the cry- baby ward in this book.

It's ridiculous. This man has been handed opportunities to him (and lots of money) time & time again, and he still can't get it together. Instead, he'd rather whine & ask for forgiveness, and say a million times "If if wasn't for X, I wouldn't be here today...".

o.k....enough already. We get it. We've all been through tough times, and addictions...and we weren't handed hundred-thousand dollar contracts along the way. Lange should be ashamed of himself. He has luck just falling out of his over-padded pockets.

And he's a comedian, right? Or maybe I should say commedianne, the way Lange whines throughout this book with his panties in a bunch. There's nothing in this book funny. Actually, I take that back, there's a half page about Don Rickles who is hilarious. But not Lange.

And I don't know...maybe I was expecting too much to think I was going to hear something about Stern and the radio show. I don't know...maybe more people know him from MADtv and his drug binges?...because that's all you get here.

Sad, sad, sad. Suck it up Lange...there's a whole lotta' people way worse off in this world than you are. And they don't have the help of heavy hitters like Quincy Jones (Quincy Jones!!! Quincy f'n Jones?!?!...I'm surprised he even wasted his time on a poor sap like Lange.)

Oh!...and then at several points he has the nerve to ask & wonder why certain people don't talk to him anymore...why?!?...because you're a jerk and you've stepped on people one too many times. It's not that hard to figure out.

Save your money, listen to him on Stern where he's at his best.

i was hoping this would be fun..had no idea the depth of honesty he would go..it gave me a perspective of Artie..that was so sad 4 all his pain..he has tried 2 endure secretly and alone...luv..luv..luv...this book...Really admire Artie more...u will 2...

First, I really like Artie on the Stern show and like his stand-up act. Book was pretty sad, but it's hard to feel sorry for Artie. He has what seems like a great family and has been given countless chances and opportunities. Hard to understand the addictive personality.

Book was interesting, but the flow was a all over the place.

This book is hilarious and emotional at the same time. It's written very much like you hear Artie on the Howard Stern show telling a story, but with a much more introspective look at his life. It's classic stories and heart felt moments....needless to say, I thought the book was great.

This book is not fun, it's not funny. It's neither fun, nor funny. All the stories in this book have been told at least twice by this fat loser on the show. They weren't funny then, they're not funny now. When Artie makes anyone laugh during the show they are laughing at him not with him. This book is no different. The most interesting part of this book is the foreword by Howard Stern. The rest is garbage. He doesn't even talk about how he came to be a member on the show. In fact he doesn't talk about the show very much at all.

I feel dumber for having read this book and you will too. Save your time and money and buy something else.
