Still Foolin' 'Em: Where I've Been, Where I'm Going,… par Billy Crystal

Very entertaining survey of the comedian's life. I recommend listening to the audiobook version to get the extra inflection of Billy Crystal's voice.

The reader/listener will be shocked (shocked! I say) to learn that Billy grew up in a happy home, has always been pretty funny, and didn't go into comedy right away. I should have recalled, but learned more deeply here, that Billy has a love of baseball, especially the New York Yankees, that is long and deep and is rooted in the limited time he had with his father.

This is a love story between Billy and life, with a little death thrown in for added poignancy and drama. Recommended for any fan and even non-fans.… (plus d'informations)

Still Foolin' 'Em: Where I've Been, Where I'm Going,… par Billy Crystal

2.5 stars. I mostly know Billy's Crystal's later work - from City Slickers to his award-hosting stints to appearances on late-night talk shows. He seems like a nice guy, and this book wasn't bad. It's a combination of stand-up type material (some performed in front of a live audience) and memoir. I found some parts slow, and I also found some of his language extremely jarring. I just wasn't expecting so many f-bombs from him!
