Wow the first book "too fat to fish" was hilarious and I laughed out loud so much .. this one I wasn't laughing but I give it 4 stars for sheer honesty and having had my own struggles with substance abuse, I don't want to say comforting , but there's a strange feeling of connection when he goes into his deepest darkest spirals and as much as I tend to idolize my days of past , wow, this book made me realize that whatever struggles I have staying clean, man are they worth it! They should hand this book out in rehabs because it truly shows just how ridiculous addiction is... what a waste of talent and people who genuinely care for him. I wish him peace and I've heard he's still using so I pray that he one day truly can get himself away from that garbage.Good book but a little hard to stomach. I hope he writes a third one that can go back to the humor because when he's funny omg he just has me in stitches !!! This book made my heart just ache for his mother ..Add on - I was almost finished the book when I wrote the above review the last three chapters took my heart .... some say he comes off pompous or repetitive but unfortunately that's the way most drug addicts come off in general and repetitive ha! That's the sheer definition of drug addiction ... when he got into Mitch hedberg I lost it I mean I LOST it.. I always liked that guy thought he was funny and to hear how he went down was just heart wrenching ... I'm glad Artie made it through but again I think he's still messing with it so I really do pray for him ... no more self destruction... makes for riveting reading but I keep thinking of his poor mom ..she must be worried sick all the time .. and his sister who seem like really good people .
