3.34 AVERAGE


One of the more boring biographies I've ever listened too which is sad because he's supposed to be such a funny guy. It was just a lot of bland Wikipedia level information. I'm sure fans will like it though.

I really enjoyed this trip through the comedic touchstones of my childhood! Highly recommended, along with a little wrapped cabbage and some cool mountain air.

Not 5 stars because the narrator has a Jersey/PA accent, and when he tries to quote bits from the 2000 year old man and other classics, they just sound wrong wrong wrong.

Ouuuff, oh boy. This book was not for me. Mel Brooks is a legend, but this version of his biography is nearly insufferable. You either have to be obsessed with Brooks, or have a deep understanding/appreciation for all things Jewish, which I cannot relate to.
