This is an autobiography of one of the great comedians of the last 35 years. I've read the book and it is a very compelling self-portrait. One Amazon reviewer summed up his feelings this way:
"At the height of his career as a stand-up comic Steve Martin was the funniest man in America. One of the joys of this book is that he appreciates how funny he was and delights in retelling the same jokes that amused us then and amuse us now. For the generation of Americans who came of age in the Seventies, Steve Martin's routines remain an important part of our lives. For example, for me personally, on the night in September 1978 when I finished my first day as a microprocessor programmer I recalled his profound insight: '...and the most amazing thing to me is: I get paid for doing this.'"
If you like Steve Martin and want to learn more about him, buy this book.
