Reviewers Said:
I bought this book after seeing Greg’s stand-up comedy in Chicago. If you grew up in the 60’s you will love the nostalgic look at how simple things were in our youth. A great, fun read.
What a delightful book, full of laughs and a sneek peak into the real life of a Comedian. Had to order 12 books to give to friends and family.
What does it take a working mom to finish reading a 212 page book…a vacation! Kudos to Greg for capturing life’s perceptions in a book, and giving me a much needed laughter break. BTW – Although just coming back from vacation, it didn’t stop me from using my CrackBerry every day, which made the book even funnier to me. I did glance up once in awhile to see the beautiful ocean, cliffs, and surfers in Southern California.
