This book is going to make you laugh and cackle like a crazy person. A very funny read that makes it clear that late Norm Macdonald was a very talented person. He died a few days ago and it made me remember all the laughs he gave me through his shows. He had his own style and that is what made him so unique in all the things he did and one of those things was his writing that you can enjoy in this book.
The book is as its name suggests, you can’t be sure of what is true and what is not if the author is really telling about something from his life or is he joking; basically, a mixture of fact, fantasy, and fiction are used to create magic that makes the reader laugh out loud, so be careful where and when you read this book.
I was not a fan of audiobooks but to save time I started listening to audio versions of the books. Some are kind of okay but if the author is the narrator then it changes everything especially if the narrator and author is someone like Norm Macdonald. I recommend the audio of this book to all the fans and anyone who loves humor in general. You’ll know why I recommended this audio once you listen to Norm Macdonald deliver a joke, he has his unique style of telling jokes and even if some jokes were old, they still felt funny and made me laugh, it was just the magic of his style.
Starting was a bit slow but just a small portion and after that, it gets pretty interesting. I must remind the readers about the author, he is not your typical celebrity so don’t expect a typical memoir. Only his name has “Norm” in it and normal stops at “m” when it comes to this guy.
A great read for the fans and everyone who loves to read funny stuff. He is no more but we can still appreciate this underappreciated comic genius by reading his book and watching his shows.
Synopsis:
“NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Driving, wild and hilarious” (The Washington Post), here is the incredible “memoir” of the legendary actor, gambler, raconteur, and Saturday Night Live veteran.
When Norm Macdonald, one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time, was approached to write a celebrity memoir, he flatly refused, calling the genre “one step below instruction manuals.” Norm then promptly took a two-year hiatus from stand-up comedy to live on a farm in northern Canada. When he emerged he had under his arm a manuscript, a genre-smashing book about comedy, tragedy, love, loss, war, and redemption. When asked if this was the celebrity memoir, Norm replied, “Call it anything you damn like.”
