Book Reviews of How to Talk Dirty and Influence People
Book Review: A great story-teller telling a great story
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best way to get to know Lenny Bruce -- Lenny in his own words. Yes, Lenny Bruce broke down social barriers and is the father of modern comedy. You've probably already heard that his struggles with the law bankrupt him and eventually left him dead -- that story is here too. But the main thing you take away from this book is HOW Bruce earned his reputation as a ground-breaker -- he got there by being funny.
Its Lenny's storytelling that keeps you captivated and laughing -- the controversy around him is just material for some of those stories. Lenny tells great stories, and while this book is a David vs Goliath story, it is also a rags to riches story, a legal thriller, a behind-the-scenes of showbiz story, a love story, and much more.
This autobiography is a great place to get to know Lenny Bruce. Its easier to digest than his often hard-to-find recordings and its really funny. Funny. That's all you really need to know before you pick up this book.
