If you are considering this book, do it by audio. Martin Short narrates it himself - complete with all his personas. There is a lot of name dropping, but that is because his friends are famous people.
In seven discs, Short traverses 65 years from his birth, the death of his oldest brother, the death of each of his parents and ultimately the death of his beloved wife. All this without being maudlin, but still causing my eyes to stream while driving unknown roads on my way to NYC.

I'm not a huge fan of Martin Short, but this audiobook made me laugh out loud, and that's what I want from a comic's book. It was also surprisingly moving as he shared stories about his family and friends. ...more

I don’t know what I expected, but this exceeded those expectations. And while I don’t care for the Jimmy Glick character, Martin Short is a great storyteller. What a life!
