review 1: Listened to the audiobook and if you are interested in reading this book I would recommend listening rather than reading just because Breuer is a charismatic storyteller and is always adding in hilarious impressions of people mentioned in the book, as well as extra details that weren't included in the print version. I can see how some people might be a little put off by the spirituality and religion mentions, but Breuer comes off really genuine, down to earth and likeable. The only negative thing I can say is that at times it's a bit boring, but what I really liked is hearing about how well he handled set backs and was more family-oriented than interested in fame or fortune. My boyfriend also listened to the audio version and said he's skeptical that many things in this bo... moreok even happened, but overall it's a nice story and Breuer is definitely a good storyteller.
review 2: So anyways if you don't know who this is, he was on Saturday Night Live in the 90's (Goat Boy, Joe Pesci) and has a radio show on Sirius Radio. He was in Half Baked as well, which is hilarious. About a year ago he came to the Funny Bone in Richmond, VA and Kelsey and I went to see him and we laughed out butts off. I think this is why she bought it for me. I thought it was great! I didn't even know I could read that fast! haha. Most of the book is funny stories of him growing up and of course stories about Will Ferrell, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler etc. etc. from SNL. I would have bought this book for those stories alone. I think anyone around my age would agree that some inside information on those classic SNL guys is great! I laughed out loud a ton. But more importantly, I thought it was cool to read how normal he was and is today. He is pretty religious (which inspired me to buy my next couple of books) but at the same time he has had his crazy moments. He dabbled in weed and alcohol and had the fame life and lived with Dave Chapel for a while so he definitely had some fun but he also never strayed on his wife and is an awesome father. He is also an awesome son considering his father needs help going to the bathroom and Jim does that for him daily, but Ill let you read the book to get all those details! After I read the book, I loved it so much that I wrote him an email to tell him how great it was to read it. He wrote me back a couple hours later with a pretty lengthy email and it was awesome! I have a way with D list celebrities! hahaAll and All, this book was great and it did so much for me. It has made me enjoy reading, which I do almost every day now and it has made me want to find more out about all kinds of things in life which is why I bought a bunch of books about Heaven, Hell and in between. But im not gonna go all weirdo cameirdo on you all, I got funny ones too. I just want to enjoy this before I decide movies are easier again! :) less

Interesting stories. Not sure I buy all the "God spoke to me stuff" and dramatic coincidences.
