In a Pryor Life
When I was born, I weighed two pounds, three ounces. The doctor who examined me told my mother, "Congratulations, Mrs. Pryor, you have a boy! No, wait, it's a girl! No, it is a boy!" Mom cried, " What did I have? A freak?" Yes and No. My freakish life parallels my father's in many a Peoria whorehouse, abuse, alcohol and drug addiction, and frequent bad decisions. But I survived. And that's what my book is about, a real-life story of overcoming obstacles, surviving, and thriving. Richard Pryor Jr.

Great insight and perspective
The only thing I disliked about the book are the misspelled words. Otherwise, it was a great read and if anyone is looking for an extension of the Richard Pryor story, it is not. Please remember this is Richard Pryor Jr’s story and his life. This was well done!

Richard Pryor Jr talks about overcoming his personal demons and life as the son of the legendary Richard Pryor. He’s an actor and stage performer and it’s interesting from cover to cover. I really enjoyed it

Sometimes entertaining, sometimes depressing, sometimes thought provoking. It's a tale of an odd life on the edge of celebrity.
