Pretty good story about Carlin, I was hoping for a bit more but in all fairness that's what his comedy specials are for.
“First of all, I'm extremely optimistic and positive. Secondly, I hate to behave in clichés.”
Thorough biography of/from one of my comedic idols chronicling his life and the reasons behind the way he came to be/think. Will certainly delve into his past work with the additional appreciation of the why and the how.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a HUGE fan of George Carlin's, have been since I was about 20 years old, if not earlier. I was extremely saddened by his death and it seems that this is a fitting book to be my last in 2009. Last words, indeed.
Realized what I wanted to do was read his comedic writings; frankly could care less about his life.
An interesting first-person account of a life and career that really opened my eyes to the ethos of the departed comic-philosopher. This sure wasn't bad for me, and I'm sure you'd share my opinion if you read this book.
I've long loved Carlin's brand of comedy, especially his later work, but this book was ultimately disappointing to me. Perhaps it was best to not peek behind the curtain to see just how screwed up he was in so many ways, especially drugs. There are moments that are fun reading in here, but mostly it just made me sad.
Worth the read, seeing where Carlin got started and what his goals in life were. I really hope there is a broadway show of this anyways.

lighthearted
Love George Carlin, interesting to hear his side of his career, warts and all
