Summary: Pride & Perseverance
Review: An enjoyable account of a very successful man who worked tremendously hard. It's the American Dream originating from Chicago's Southside. I have been playing this for my 8th grade nephew on the drive to and from school. Bernie Mac's autobiography is steeped in values: respect adults, take pride in your work no matter the job, always look for the positive, and never take advantage or do harm. It's a blue collar guide to success. (Parents Note: There is some swearing but it's minimal and not gratuitous.)

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: Bernie did his thing with this one. I truly enjoyed this book. It was funny at the right times and always down to earth. This man has been through so much but yet and still he came out on top. This book let's us know that we can make it through anything. Outstanding.

Summary: May I never cry again that hard in my life
Review: Bernie Mac did it again. He made me laugh and cry all at the same time. He took me through his journey and I felt like I was right there. I can't wait to read his other book.

Summary: I will read this book over and over again.
Review: I am a huge Bernie Mac fan as it already is. This book will keep you laughing and it will also make you look at "the Mac" in a whole new light. I would recommend everyone to read this book if they want to know what a real rags to riches type of story is all about.

Summary: Quick Read
Review: I enjoyed reading and learning about the life of Bernie Mac. I am not one for reading non fiction books, but this was excellent. My husband and I were able to sit and discuss the book together which was an added bonus. Bernie Mac definitely tells it like it is. It's good to know that he didn't just wake up one day and become Bernie Mac. This book lets our youth know that they can be anything they want to be if they just remain focused-despite any put-downs from their friends or family members.

Summary: Bernie Mac
Review: I enjoyed the book to an extent. I like Bernie Mac's wisdom for kids, however, the language was very offensive to me. If the language had not been in there, it would have been the best non-fiction book I've read in a while. I would've given it 5 stars, if the language was toned down. So what if that's the way Bernie talks? What about the rest of us who don't? That's just as real.

Summary: a good, enjoyable read
Review: I picked up my copy last week at one of his NYC book signings, and finished reading it by the weekend. You'll get some of the laughs you'd expect from a comedian recounting his life story, but also a good sense of the life lessons that have made Bernie Mac into the man he is. In particular, his relationship with his mother helped give him the will to continue on as an aspiring comedian, and her words can be found throughout his book and put into use in his life. If you're drawn to the type of comedy Bernie Mac does, or the type that Eddie Murphy showcased in Delirious and Raw, you will probably find this book hard to put down.
