Rating:  Summary: The Best of Bernie Mac Review: I was deeply moved by this book. It was insightful and funny. His determination to make it despite the odds. Is a lesson everyone could benefit from. His commitment to his wife and family also was a plus for me. I haven't read an autobiography this good since Don't Block the Blessing.
Rating:  Summary: "Big Mac" book Review: Maybe You Never Cry Again is the story of Bernie Mac's life. Bernie Mac has a lot to say and a lot of things to teach. From his fatherless childhood to moonlighting as a comedian while frying fish during the day, Bernie lays it all out for the world to see and learn from. Forget about sports stars as role-models....all you need is Bernie Mac. A man who knows how to get things done, no matter how unpleasant they may be. If more people had Bernie's attitude toward life, this country would be a far better place.

Rating:  Summary: Funny person, book Review: Someones I wonder if I person is really funny, or is alot of it an act the person places on the screen. I have no doubt Charles Barkley is truely funny, and I don't have any doubts that Bernie Mac is - or maybe, I don't care who he is in real life, and I don't want to find out. He is a funny person, and it shows up in this book.
Rating:  Summary: Impressive Insight Review: There is a serious side to every comedian, and Bernard McCullough is no different. Bernie Mac takes the time, in this autobiography, to share the intimate portrait of his life and pay tribute to those who influenced, inspired, and encouraged him on his comedic journey. I've enjoyed his comedy, when he toured with The Kings of Comedy, and his television show, but to go behind the scenes really enlightened me. Maybe You Never Cry Again isn't your typical chronological display of life events that often has you reading the book to fall asleep. No, if you listen any to Bernie Mac, you can hear him saying the words as you read. The closest I've come to an audio book without actually listening to one. The way the words are written is exactly the way your mind imagines that he would say them. Bernie Mac shares a lot in this book. I like the way the book was laid out - each chapter had a poignant quote that dealt with the theme of the chapter. There was a picture of Bernie and/or his family included in each chapter as well which further personalized the book and encouraged the reader to see the intimate side. Each reader can pick up something that we can carry forward in our own lives. He's never forgotten from whence he came and he's kept it real throughout his career. He's been true to his craft, true to his family and true to himself, which makes Maybe You Never Cry Again, a wonderful read.
