Title: Dissapointed
Product review: I disagree with the previous reviews. This book was a quickly written tome of banal anecdotes. Important area's of Rodney's life were only touched upon in an extremely cursory way. For example, his run in with the IRS was touched on, but no details were provided. Ditto- his divorce,his relationship with his children etc.Some of his battles with other comedians were not even mentioned. There was just nothing to sink my teeth into.No angst, no pathos, no emotion- just trivial unimportant stories of only passing interest.Recently on Howard Stern's radio program, Howard asked Rodney why at the age of 80, he decided to write this book. Rodney's answer- "a big advance." That says it all.If anyone would like to read a truly great autobiography of a comedian, may I suggest "Jackie Oy" by Jackie Mason. I truly know the "inner Jackie."I still don't know Rodney- too bad.
