Synopsis

From the author of the bestselling Why We Suck comes a searing comic look at these divisive times, skewering liberals and conservatives alike with a signature dose of sarcasm and common sense.

In an America so gluten-free that a box of jelly donuts is now a bigger threat than Vladimir Putin, where college kids are more afraid of Ann Coulter than HIV, it’s time for someone to stand up and make us all smell the covfefe. Dr. Denis Leary is that guy.

With Why We DON’T Suck: And How All of Us Need to Stop Being Such Partisan Little Bitches, Denis is on a devoted mission to #MakeAmericaLaughAgain. Using the clamorous political atmosphere as a starting point, he takes a bipartisan look at the topics we all hold so dear to our patriotic hearts—including family, freedom, and the seemingly endless search for fame and diet vodka.

Denis will answer important questions like: When will Hillary blame herself? Why does Beyoncé think he’s Bryan Adams? And why doesn’t he follow the millennial lead and post pictures of his food on social media? (Spoiler alert: He’s too busy actually eating it.)

Not that Denis has anything against millennials: “When it comes to science, math, and technological advances, this generation has done more in three and a half decades than any other age group in history. What did my generation do? Cocaine and quaaludes mostly. With a side order of really stupid haircuts.”

Dr. Leary is here to remind us of what truly makes America great, even though we’re #7 on the most recent list of Best Countries to Live In. Which may sound bad but means we still make the playoffs.

DENIS LEARY is a five-time loser at the Emmy Awards. And the Golden Globes. He hopes to one day also lose an Oscar, a Grammy, and a Tony. His first literary foray Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid was a New York Times bestseller but not nominated for the National Book Award.

He looks forward to playing Kellyanne Conway in the President Trump biopic.

Goodreads review by Trish on March 29, 2018

(The gif is appropriate for the laughing maniacally as well as for who is laughing.) Make no mistake, this is 80% rant, followed by 15% veering slightly off topic trying to make a point (still in a hilarious way though) and 5% conclusion. Denis Leary is the son of Irish immigrants. He doesn't come fro......more

Goodreads review by Valerity (Val) on December 30, 2017

I became a fan of Denis Leary through various programs on television, finding him to be a wonderful and funny actor. So I picked up this book by him and it’s more of the same. It’s very much the same, funny and sharp, warm and sarcastic all at once. I’m not a very political person but he nails much......more

Goodreads review by Gary on October 28, 2017

Put on your cynical hat and you’re likely to laugh until you cry. If you’ve been following the American political and cultural wars, however, you’re likely to go straight to tears. For everyone else, which isn’t likely to be enough people to make a crowd, there will at least be some laughs. I had nev......more

Goodreads review by Linda on November 28, 2017

I listened to the audio book of this, which was read by the author. It’s always wonderful to have the author as the narrator; it’s them telling their own story and it’s like sitting in a room with them while they tell it. While I didn’t agree with all of his statements, “Dr.” Leary cuts through most......more

Goodreads review by Randee on January 23, 2018

I've always liked Denis Leary. I liked him as a stand up and as an actor. I loved his TV series 'The Job' and 'Rescue Me', many of his movie roles and as a guest on talk shows. I've liked his previous books, so you could call me a fan and I would not deny it. However, the last two projects Denis has......more


Quotes

“America will not be disappointed. Sure to offend some readers, but many more will find plenty of food for thought while also getting in a good laugh. Leary's ribbing of social media, complete with fake tweets from famous individuals, is particularly amusing.”—Kirkus Reviews
