Great book for Jim Norton and Fox Red Eye fans
I happened by this book at my local B&N store and saw it in clearance for $4.98. Great for me, not so much for Jim. But, I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the book.

Jim's style is pretty straight forward, ribaldrous and brash. Not for young children. But, if you're a reasonable adult, not easily offended, this book is great. Sort of auto-biographical and loaded with a bunch of personal stories, each chapter is a separate story, insights into his life and how he got to where he is today and many of his trials and tribulations.
This ISN'T a "woe is me" book. It is loaded with a ton of laugh out loud stuff, especially as you get into it and start understanding where he's coming from. I read this into the wee hours and had so many laugh out loud moments that at 4.98 for the book, I think I paid a half penny for each one.
Not for the easily offended, really a 'guy's book', and of course for women who like that type of rough and gruff humor. If you like Jim's humor, this is a great book. -

Not for everyone
I've just finished reading this book today. I could not be happier to do so. Don't get me wrong, Norton's book is funny, but his humor is not for everyone. There were points were I had to put the book down do to me laughing so hard. Yet I had to put the book down more times do to the distasteful dialogue and topics on his mind.

I've only seen his stand-up a couple of times so I can't be too surprised at what he talked about. I would put more time in to describing what I was disgusted about, but I don't want to say that it's all trash. So in the end, it was funny in parts, but you really need to have a stomach for his sense of humor and language. -

Definately Needs an X-Rating!
Norton pulls no punches in his descriptions of going for sexual massages and visiting prostitutes. He has an amazing talent for being so descriptive that you actually feel that you were there with him. Some of his writing is hilarious while being shocking at the same time.

Yellow Treats for any reader
I admire Jim Norton for coming out of the closet as a tinkle drinker and chest nugget lover. After reading this book I feel I have te strength to out from under the porch.

Jim Norton is one of the funniest and most (strangely) charming/fascinating people on the planet, so it's no big surprise that his book would be terrific. It's a must-read for anyone that hasn't lost their sense of humor. Jim is a comic genius. Meow.

Comming of age story about a young boy who becomes a great man. A tale that will take you on an emotional roller coaster. Overall a heartwarming saga that will show you the meaning of life but not before taking you to the depths of hell. A tragedy the author did not live to see the book published nevertheless his words will echo in eternity.

This book highlights Jim's ever expanding use of the English language. He is a brilliant mind who you wouldn't ever want to baby-sit your children. What a creep!!

If you like any of his previous books like Monster Rain Inc'1975 hard cover' you're going to enjoy his latest book.

I had never truly heard of mr. norton before yet I was intrigued to buy his cd book (I travel to yellowstone quite often)for my car. I must say that his campy yet adult deliverance of a psudo life made even my wife put down the whiffle ball bat and listen with me. a thumbs up for mr. norton.

This piece of literature is soon to be an american classic. It is the funniest thing since lil conner took a swim-gurgle gurgle.

Finally a book by one of the Garbage Pale Kids
From Nietzsche to Norton, oh, how far I've fallen. In all seriousness, they are probably my two favorite authors to die of syphilis.

The Place Where Dreams Went To Die
For Jimmy, everyday is like his birthday. He's a special boy but sometimes needs to replace some things with other things - maybe he could hit the gym or something. Even though we agree to disagree, I would still meet him under the porch anytime. Jimmy has expressed a recent interest in plumbing and it has lead him into the hat business. Jimmy prefers women with strong, muscular backs. A sweet boy, he his eager to please. Just ask his Uncle Paul.
