Edit: I finished it. THANK YOU ADAM CAROLLA. For writing the only book interesting enough that I have been able to finish it- in the last like seriously 5 months or something. So my final assesment below (which is mostly quotes, but that's the true sign of me liking something, when in leui of explaining it,I just quote it) remains. The LOL/page ratio remained consistent throughout. Adam Carolla is insightful and pissed in a unique and hilarious way. He is also REALLY good at analogies, seriously impressed that he is able to spew such comparisons off the cuff (as I've heard him do on Loveline). He covers everything from politics to toasters, and he does so in a manner that is mostly fluid. That said, 90% of the material (and this is a conservative estimate) was stuff I had already heard, from Carolla. Almost verbatim, just in audible rant form. It's like every one of his opinions/ideas compiled.

So far I am 54 pages in and I have LOLd 6 times. That is an average of one LOL per 9 pages, which is damn good. Most books, even funny ones, do not actually provoke laughter from me.

I've heard many of these rants before, as I listened to Loveline when Adam was co-hosting, but they are still amusing. I think it's safe to say that if you enjoy Adam's ranting/complaining style and offensive albeit honest view on life- you'll enjoy the book. Some other reviewers seem to think that some of the funny is lost when told in text form, and I can kind of see that. Whoever helped Carolla write this book (sorry man, I think you are hilarious but even you'd admit you are not exactly a master wordsmith so I suspect you had plenty of help) went a little overboard sometimes with the narration style in regards to monikers. Ie, in telling a story about a woman working at Disneyland refusing his daughter entry into a ride, he refers to her as "the diesel dyke in the khaki slacks", "Rosie O'Donell's husky doppelganger" and "Ranger C-word". I'm not even offended by any of those slanderous nicknames, I just think he needed to pick one and stick with it. It's like someone cramming too many jokes into one paragraph- overkill. Probably works better as part of a spoken joke. Anyway, really, this book is not for the easily offended, or just regular-type offended. I'm serious. Carolla is offensive, because he says offensive things and it's not like Sarah Silverman says offensive things, he often isn't kidding. Here's a few excerpts that made me LOL, but they might hurt your feelings (but if they do, calm down, it's just ADAM CAROLLA):

"My son I worry about. I'm pretty sure he's gonna be gay. At this point I'm just hoping he's not a bottom. Sorry to sound closed-minded and uptight, but let's face it, no dad wants his son to be gay. Not only do you get no grandkids, but I'm sure high school is no picnic for a fifteen-year-old gay boy. On the other hand, maybe I'm just viewing this through the bifocals of an old heterosexual dude. The way things are going, my son will probably get his ass kicked for not being gay. 'Carolla thinks he's too good to suck cock. Come on boys, lets get him.' " . Offensive, yeah, probably. Presumptuous in that he assumes his view is shared by ALL dads. But somehow self-aware. Typical Carolla.

(In this one Carolla is complaining that on flights you are told that "tampering with, disabling, or destroying the lavatory smoke detector is against FAA regulations" and that this warning is unnecessarily redundant):
"Was there an incident that necessitated this run-on sentence about the smoke detector? Was there a case...where a guy went into the first-class head, lit up a butt, and took an ax handle to the smoke detector and his case had to be thrown out of federal court because his dream team argued 'The stewardess only said "tampering with" when, in fact, my client disabled and destroyed the smoke detector, and thus no jury in the land can convict him'?" Just silly little observations that make me LOL. That one wasn't even offensive :).

Alright damn how is this review so long already, ridiculous. Anyway, it just dawned on me that Carolla kind of reads like a less intellectual George Carlin. Take that however you want.
