Rickles' Book

Don Rickles is a legend

If you love Don Rickles, Frank Sinatra, or just to laugh then this book is for you. It is a quick read that has plenty of laughs and gives insight to so many famous people that he has connected with over his decades of comedy. The chapters are relatively short and there are quite a few blank pages (you'll understand what I mean when you get it). This book is an easy and enjoyable read for young and old alike. There are chapters about Frank Sinatra, Johnny Carson, Bob Newhart, and many others.

A funny, funny read guaranteed to make you laugh or smile at least.

You have to admire Don Rickles' life long steadfast pursuit of his dream. His mother deserves kudos for her unflagging support. I loved this book.

Be Prepared to Laugh, Nonstop ... Until It Hurts!

It is a pleasure to provide commentary for this entertaining book. It is easy to convey my thoughts because of the laughter and joy I experienced while reading about the life of this comic-genius. Some things that resonated with me about his life were the constant support of his endearing family and the sustenance of his Jewish faith .. through good, bad, and ugly times.

In spite of his bravado, like most of us, he has insecurities, doubts, and imperfections. Successful icons in show business were instrumental in supporting his career. Among them were Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Johnny Carson, and Clark Gable. Just reading about them reminded me how much these amazingly talented people are missed. Mr. Rickle's book brought their memories back to life. From my perspective, it is a cogent reminder ... we are fortunate to still have this provocative, and gifted man among us. Reginald V.

fun trip down memory lane

A quick and fun trip down memory lane with Don Rickels. Chronicles his entire career, which is at 60+ years and counting. No bombshells or celebrity dirt.

It's also the shortest 256 page book you'll ever read. There's about 100 chapters, with a blank page in between many of them and half blank pages where the chapters begin and end. And some pictures. The legnth makes it over priced at $24.95, makes a more sensible buy at 40% off - or wait for the paperback.

A GREAT MEMOIR

Don Rickles has written a genuine winner. Some stories were happy, some were sad -- you'll laugh, cry, and thoroughly enjoy this one. Thanks, Don, for giving us such an honest and thought-provoking book.

very funny and an easy read.

I couldn't put this book down.I finished it in 2 hours. My father who is of the same generation as DR loved his humour.He would always say...that don rickles is so funny..So i figured i would read about him. This book is very funny!

Rickles' Big Break

Don Rickles is awesome - still looking for his big break - I never laughed so hard. If you have not followed this man's fantastic career you have to read this book! Many of the chapters brought smiles and tears 'from sentiment'. Don Rickles is a genius! When I caught him on Letterman promoting his book - he still 'has it'. The 'stars' whose life he touched and visa versa is mind blowing! He is one of the greats!
