If you're a fan of Jeff Dunham and his crew of crazy puppets, this book is a must-read! It is a great autobiography, starting from Jeff's first introduction to ventriloquism, taking us through his first gig, his college years, all the way up to present day. He's very honest, sharing the bad and the good with equal humor. His puppets offer their opinions along the way, and it is a great ride. You don't have to know anything about ventriloquism to enjoy this book, and you might just learn a thing or two. I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes Mr. Dunham's comedy.

Such an interesting book by the #1 comedian in the world. It's incredible to see someone live out the dream they had when they were a little kid and how they made it through everything. And he's a really good writer too!

A funny, often heartwarming book by the most talented guy in show business. In this insanely PC world we need Jeff and the guys more than ever and their story will entertain you as much as their act. Highly recommended.

All By My Selves by Jeff Dunham is a quirky autobiography by an equally quirky man. Dunham has achieved international fame through his comedic ventriloquism act with puppets Walter, Peanut, Achmed, and more. He traces the course of that journey through this book that begins with his eighth Christmas when his parents purchased him a ventriloquist's dummy named Mortimer Snerd. Something changed in Dunham permanently that day and he began practicing how to operate the vent (that is the term used in the business for the puppet or dummy) and speaking without using his lips. After giving a book report with Mortimer, he discovered that he could make people laugh, and there was no turning back. Dunham spent his junior high and high school years traveling to ventriloquist conventions, performing for summer camps, business dinners, and eventually doing commercials for a local car dealership. Dunham's writing is interspersed with lines from his crowd of characters commenting on his lack of love life and major geekdom (Dunham is a huge fan of Star Trek, to the point of carrying a credit card with the Enterprise on it!). The book exposes Dunham as a genuinely likable man who is very driven to succeed. He sees opportunities where others would see walls and is constantly working to improve himself and his act. The book is a surprisingly enjoyable read. Dunham's writing voice is very conversational and friendly, and the interruptions by his characters lighten the mood and keep the story moving smoothly. The best parts are his stories of the road, how he cobbled together a Jose the Jalapeno from posterboard and masking tape when the airport lost his luggage, when a taking care of a heckler turned into a horrifying gaffe, rigging up his vent to move on its own for the high school talent show, and doing donuts in the parking lot of White Castle. Dunham is just as hilarious in book form as he is on stage, and when readers finish the book, they will want to immediately watch his DVDs now that they know the secret behind some of the best bits. If you are already a fan, you'll love this book, and if you aren't one, the book will make you one.
