Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Larry the Cable Guy is a pretty known quantity. He's a redneck stereotype, who specializes in fart and poop jokes and comes off looking like a rube. That is his shtick and he does it well.
Surprise! If you like Larry the Cable Guy, and millions do, you'll like the book. It mixes some of his comedy shtick with some new material and meanders around known territory.
If you don't like Larry the Cable Guy and you read this book, then ..... surprise .... you won't like the book either. Save yourself some time and then save us the trouble of having to read your whiney review and then mark it as unhelpful.
If you haven't seen Larry's stand-alone routine (not the sanitized short version on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour) then you may find this to be a little "blue" and shocking. Maybe you should listen to his full version before you decide if you will like the book is the only warning I would give.
I actually knew Larry, back in his High School days in South Florida. I found this book hilarious because I was able to read between some of the lines and know the real story.
The truth is Larry is what he says he is. A farm kid from Nebraska who moved south, easily picked up on the red-neck accent and lifestyle. In high school he was a little fat-kid in the band but had a great sense of humor.
Amazing what can happen in life. He's now the hottest thing since sliced bread and in movies, books, shows, he's every-where!
So the bottom line for me is, more power to him. He found a niche. He's filling it and he's successful. God bless him, and God Bless America!
If you like red-necky, dumb-guy type humor buy it. I'm generally a pretty sophisticated guy who reads across the board (see my other reviews for evidence of that.) I liked it as a change of pace. It was what I expected.
If you don't like that kind of humor, don't buy it!
Complaining about it is like buying an apple pie and then suing the baker because you're allergic to fruit! Larry has a more succinct way of saying it.
Exactly what his fans like. If you're a fan buy it and enjoy!
