Summary: Mancow Milks Himself of some Particulary Puerile...
Review: "squeezin's." One can certainly tell that Mancow has read his Hunter S. Thompson. His style is hyper, self-congratulatory (even while bemoaning certain of his own behaviors Mancow himself finds cruel), nightmarish, occasionally funny, intentionally boastful. Mancow's antics read like those of a perennial adolescent. Indeed, and most telling, like fellow shlock meister "Coward Sperm" Mancow rails against elitists while cutting anyone off at the knees who won't join Mancow's group of fawning, self-described freaks.Mancow's slim confessional is mental masturbation at its most banal.

Summary: Good but not what I expected
Review: Did someone below just compare Mancow's memoir to a classic novel by Jay McInerney??? Crazy is right, but for a whole other reason! At least McInerney himself crafted something with at least a shred of interest for his readers instead of depending on a ghost writer, like Muller did, to help organize things. McInerney is a respected part of the writing community, something Muller is not. But in a era that allows anyone and their grandmother to publish a memoir, I guess the public is just required to go with the flow. Cow's book, though entertaining and touching at times, even going so far as to offer offending stories about his radio crew, barely approached my expectations of the self-proclaimed radio God finally putting his money where his big mouth is. As a listener of his show, I was expecting the final product to meet all of the self-gratifying hype Muller's spewed upon us for months on end...it did not live up, my friend. As for Johnny Depp appearing as Cow in the so-called film version (which I have yet to read about in any of the film industry trades), I think we have a new GIGLI on our hands...can't wait for that trainwreck!

Summary: Go Mancow, go!
Review: I bought this book 3 weeks after it was released. I read in a total of 2 1/2 hours, spanning 2 days. I couldn't stop reading. I was intrigued. I was shocked, disgusted and most of all, I was amazed. I find Mancow so original and refreshing with his "shock-jock" antics to his political views. A true follower of Thomas Jefferson's ways and his outstanding support of the US Constitution. In an America of Liberal v. Conservative and Dummy-crat v. Republican-not, it's great to hear one voice who will not succumb to the numbness of society and truly cry "freedom". Although today, we might as well cry "attica". From his "trip" through Amsterdam to the freakshows and battles with his id, it's a great background for him to show and emote how much he missies his father, how much he loved and respected a man who wouldn't let his son quit and take the easy sell-out routes in life. If Mancow were son of another man, we might not have this freedom loving, gun-blasting sonofabitch screaming through the radio to wake up and lift the veil. He'll shock with his intellect and surprising turns when he let's a few of his own writings be parts of chapters. A poem that says George Orwell warned us. Some things he does maybe outrageous, but people who have power have done worse. So the next time some judgmental priest or FCC-follower or over-offended person goes off and says that Mancow is the voice of sin and should be stopped, remember, he's freeing our thought, opening our minds and showing us there are other ways. He is the true Pro-Christ and Super-Patriot of an almost lost America. Thank God for Mancow and those who share his dream of a free America.

Summary: A wild ride
Review: I just recently held a booksigning for Mancow at my store in Chicago (in fact, just 2 hours ago). What really struck me, and I'm sure will strike many readers, is that Erich (Mancow) is a very down to earth personable guy and it shows in this book. His mindset and work is "on" 24-7. Sure we have the crazy mixture of girls, booze, drugs, and downright fall on the floor funny humor...but there is so much more to Mr. Muller in the pages of this book. Many personal observations on life, politics, manhood and the bond between fathers and sons hit home in this book. Dedicated to his father who passed from cancer, those who are undergoing similar trials can read from a kindred soul who's been there. Not just for fans of his Morning Madhouse Show, this is a highly entertaining read. A solid run down "freedom road". Keep on rockin' you crazy ninjas!

Summary: Good book
Review: I purchased this book after hearing stories from a buddy in chicago who listens to mancow all the time and i was not disappointed with it.It is very funny with him explaining his adventures in amsterdam and some of his freakshow events and a little sad with his dead dads club and dealing with his own fathers death. Made me want to go out and buy tickets for amsterdam.

Summary: Love the show
Review: If you're a long time listener of the show, the book is really not a must read book. Sorry, love show, but the book is just not a page turner. If you're not a fan of the show the book will only get one or two stars. The sentimental part of the book where Man Cow''s father has cancer is something everybody can relate too, sickness in the family, and you do feel what Cow is saying. The Amsterdam trip very fun reading especially if you've been to Amsterdam like I have, then you can relate just how free the people in the Netherlands are or how low. Five stars on show.

Summary: Terrific and Manic
Review: Mancow Muller is outrageous on the radio and his book is his personality put on paper. He puts his foot in his mouth and is politically incorrect but doesn't apologize for it. He's too busy having already manically jumped to another topic. The writing and manic personality, even the story is very similar to Rikki Lee Travolta's My Fractured Life. The childhood reflections have a little in common with Augusten Burrough's Running With Scissors. Terrific.
