review 1: The political portion of this book -which is about the first third of the book - was written in response to the 2012 Republican Primary debates. So, while some good points are made, none of the runners hold much sway in politics now-a-days.The rest of the book is very autobiographical and I thought it was pretty interesting. It talks about race relations, raising kids, growing up in a bad neighborhood, etc. Overall, an entertaining read.
review 2: D.L Hughley is not only one of comedy's funniest comedians, he is also highly intelligent. I agreed with him on so many levels pertaining to politics, and you just can't beat his realism about life. I laughed so hard at many of the issues he raised, but what he says is extremely serious.This isn't one of those bo... moreoks that deals with his life per se, but rather little glimpes of who D.L. Hughley is and what he thinks about. If you enjoy his standup, you will definitely enjoy this book and you'll get where he's coming from. I thought the ending of the book was well done with his personal thoughts on Bernie Mac. It was so moving, it made me cry. I miss Bernie too, so I could relate to his pain on losing such a great friend.If you can't deal with realism, you won't enjoy this book because D.L. does not sugarcoat anything. He tells it just like it is, whether you agree with him or not. I have nothing but respect for him. A really good read! less
