Why We Suck
A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid

The writing is so disjointed its hard to read. I understand he's trying to copy his stand-up routine, but you're WRITING A BOOK, so you have to use punctuation and form actual sentences. I wasn't in the mood to read past the first chapter.

I read this book when it first came out and laughed so hard I was asked to leave the room. I also don't understand the one-star review if you know who Denis Leary is, you know to expect rambling prose and pretty offensive stuff. If you don't know who he is or don't like him, I don't understand why you'd read the book in the first place.

I have been a big fan of Denis Leary for a long time now. His two comedy albums are priceless. I think my favorite bit is about "coffee-flavored coffee", which he reviews again in this book. His stand-up act is high-energy, loud and hysterically funny. Leary's comedy has always been a commentary on t......more

If you like No Cure for Cancer, if you like Denis Leary, if you like politically incorrect but often accurate assessments, if you just plain want a good time, you'll love this book. If you think that races and genders and the obese and the children of the world need to be handled with kid gloves, yo......more
