I have never seen any of Steve Martin's stand up routine nor have I ever listened to any of his albums, but I didn't feel lost or confused even though this book is about him honing his act. The lessons of persistence are universal, except Martin can be funny while talking about his experiences.
I checked this book out from the library after I saw it in the large print section. I got it for my husband as a joke, but Barry's warning about bad words put off my husband, so I read it. The first 140 pages or so went by pretty quickly, but then it started to drag a bit. It's funny and his comments on everyday life are right on and funny. There was a part about a mother degrading herself to save her daughter that I thought didn't fit with what that character had done up until then. Otherwise, it's an OK book.
I had a difficult time getting into this book at first because few of the characters were likable. But I stuck with it and wasn't disappointed.
Fascinating information about Oprah. I'm scared of Oprah too so that's all I'll say. That and there will never be another Oprah again.
