review 1: I remember listenting to Howard Stern "interviewing" Artie Lange several years ago on the Stern show. It was an amazing moment; Howard talking about Artie's apparently complete (at the time) disinterest in, well, living. It was honest and heart rending and I've never forgotten it.This book contains a lot of background on Artie's life and descriptions of the good and bad that has happened to him; most notably the problems that drug addiction have caused him.It may not be for everyone, but the folks reviewing it here that simply call him a loser either haven't read the book, haven't understood it or haven't a heart.
review 2: As a long time fan and rabid listener of The Howard Stern Show, a book about Artie seemed like a good idea. I always knew he was a crazy ga... morembling drunk addict off (and on actually) the air, and I wanted the details. I got them. It was fun to connect the dots between memorable bits from the show and what happened privately for Artie at the same time. There is comedy in here for sure, but I guess its mostly Artie's dark downward spiral into heroin and depression. Good book about a good guy with more baggage than an airport. Evey Stern-fan should read it. less
