Not nearly as hilarious as Private Parts but I still got some laughs out of this. I tend to read a lot of very serious morose stuff but I like to read a book that makes me laugh now and then. Sterns humor is very neurotic and self loathing, at times very juvenile, and very Jewish (obsession with bodily functions, sexual insecurities, childhood traumas and persecution complexs) but I have always thought he was funny. Stern is one funny Jew!
I have to admit, seeing Howard & the gang was a bit disturbing, but it was funny.
I loved Private Parts, so of course I had to read Miss America. As in Private Parts, Stern devotes an adoring section to Stuttering John, his former lackey who shouted out embarrassing questions at stars. (''What's the best thing about dinner theater?'' John asked Burt Reynolds. ''The dinner or the theater?'') And the tales of Sternheads who make prank calls to rival media outlets are brilliant in their prepubes...more

There was a time in my life that I listened to Howard Stern. That was certainly prior to the move to digital radio as I abhor the idea of paying to listen to the radio. Sure, one can do as he pleases, but I do not see myself ever shelling out for that service.
Anyhow, I have always supported Stern and what he does. I liked it . . . for a time. By the time this book was published, however, I was losing interest. Howard was too full of himself and frankly, there's only so many potty jokes I can lis...more

Just isn't as funny as the first one. Including transcripts of his actual cybersex encounters was completely brilliant as a concept but not particularly funny. Enough chuckles and I'm enough of a fanboy that I still like it.
He really wrote it too soon after the first book. If he wrote a third one there is basically no way it wouldn't be the best thing he's ever done even if he has to gloss over the divorce. Hopefully he does his year of AGT and sets to writing again.

I am a huge Howard Stern fan so I had to read his books. "Miss America" was definitely good but had a few slower parts to the story. Howard's first book "Private Parts" was better than "Miss America" but anything Howard is good to me.
This is better than his autobiography. It's very funny sometimes, but it reads like a children's book. Despite being entertained by this book, I maintain the opinion that Howard Stern is trash.
Not as good as Private Parts, but still a funny read....and if you're a fan of Stern's it's certainly worth it to pick it up.
Again, very funny from this radio genius. He is the Albert Einstein of radio!!!!
I was so excited to get this book, but it wasn't as good as "Private Parts."
Private Parts was better, but if you like Howard you will have to read both!
Not as good as his first book but still a winner with Stern fans.
one of the funniest books I've ever read and it blows Private Parts away

Further insight into the world of the king of all media.
A huge bullshit! This dude's got some serious issues!
...and of course, I have to buy the sequel.
See my review on "Private Parts".
Private parts was better
He's definitely an acquired taste but if you're a fan, this is a hilarious book. I liked it better than Private Parts because there's more industry insider stuff, like a meeting with Michael Jackson I'm not sure even happened, but the description of how Jackson's face melted off in the middle of the meeting was pretty graphic and funny as hell. Otherwise it's what you would expect from Stern and you either love him or hate him, there's not a lot of middle ground. It's a fast, well written, good...more
I already knew a lot of the content but it was still highly entertaining and made me laugh.
i was kinda disappointed with this book. i thought private parts was hilarious so i expected the same from miss america. it had some funny parts to it, but nothing made me laugh so hard i was crying like private parts did. its still a good read though. i recommend this book to any stern fan.
I was never a BIG fan of Stern. I picked up this book from my uncle for the train ride back home. Holy $h!t this book was hilarious. The one part I remember in particular was a transcript... hell, I cant remember... hmmmm. I need to pick it up again.
It was funny.
It was funny.
average book, oddly the thing i remember most of book is the font/size of the print. read it because i was obsessed with all things howard at the time. funny how some things don't change.
For reason, I thought this book was much better than "Private Parts." The scene described with Kenneth Keith Kallenbach (or whatever) at the Libertarian caucus has me rolling every time.
I could write a long review of this book and tell you why i love it etc... Bottom line is, Howard rules Fuck Jackie and if your not down with stern go suck a horse cock!
I liked this one better than Private Parts...Howard writes exactly like he speaks so obvi I loved it. Loved the chapter on how he met Michael Jackson. Very funny
The King of All Media strikes back with his follow-up to Private Parts. Funny as all heck, but a book that shows determination and persistence.
Very funny. Revealing chapter about Michael Jackson meeting was amazing. Very funny. Couldn't put this book down. Way better than his first.
Greatness! I read this one before Private Parts, actually. My first foray into what would become a lifelong addiction, the Howard Stern Show.
I read this and Private Parts around the same time and really can't remember what happened in one vs. the other.
