Is this something original from Leary or just more stolen material from Bill Hicks....Leary biggest thief in comedy. Bet if you read really old stuff from Hicks...you might find he wrote a show about a drunk firefighter. Nothing original here.
 Humor Amid Some Very Long Rants July 28, 2010
TW
Dennis Leary covers a large assortment of topics including all areas of entertainment, politics, life, and celebrity. The theme of the book is in line with Leary's stand-up style which should give you a good idea of what to expect. If you are unfamiliar with Dennis Leary, he comes across like Jerry Seinfeld's surly cousin; observational humor with a tone of irritability.
Leary is very funny at times, but I would not rate this book very high in comparison to those from many other well known comedians. Too many of Leary's jokes tend to be aimed at shock value instead of quality wit or genuine humor. While some elements leave you laughing out loud, most of the routine in just exceptionally long-winded, often requiring pages of reading before punch lines are delivered. Leary is the master of tedious rants, but this book could have been vastly improved had he edited out many of the lackluster segments.
 This book was great July 23, 2010

I laughed out loud so many times while reading this book. I love Denis Leary's sense of humor and he writes just the way he speaks, which some people can't figure out how to do. Sarcasm is great and Leary uses it a lot. The stories involving his mother were great reads. He had a lot of funny things to talk about from his past and I enjoyed reading what he thinks of other situations. I have been a fan of Leary for a long time and I'm glad this book didn't let me down.
Denis Leary is priceless, love the book! July 13, 2010

I love Denis Leary, best potty mouth in town! I still look forward to his "dress off" with Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show.
If you haven't seen his movie "The Ref" you are really missing out on a great laugh fest. I had to buy it also. Money well spent in both cases.
Enjoy.
Somewhat stupid, somewhat funny July 7, 2010

There is holding an opinion that makes sense and there's holding an opinion where the facts don't add up. This why Denis Leary Sucks. His rants on autism and ADD are wrong.
There is also a section of the dubious value of child stars. He mentions the ones that died early drug addicted drunk and holds this up as a warning, failing to even consider Jackie Coogan or Jackie Cooper or Spanky McFarland, or Mickey Rooney. He manipulates the material to uphold his view. The value of that section is that it shows off Leary's transparency and dishonesty.
We know he wrote most of this book--though the rants are borrowed--since Bill Hicks is dead.
A little realistic honesty might be in order.
