Ya know...I really do expect BETTER details from a tell-all memoir.
Before I start, I would like to know if it's possible for the folks who manage this site to allow us to rate a book 0? This book doesn't even deserve the honor and the privilege of being rated a "1".
Tarsha Jones' book is a joke, plain and simple. It makes Karrine Steffan's "autobiography" a true work of art.
This DJ chick goes on and on about how Doug E Fresh dogs her out, how Busta Rhymes LITERALLY busted her out (sexually) because of how WELL ENDOWED he was...oh and how quick he was in the sack..and how selfish he was afterwards...*sigh*, how Allen Iverson tried to get a piece, how a rival DJ at her radio station had it out for her, how her babydaddy wouldn't act right...oh woe is her! Playing the victim MUST be the modus operandi for these female human semen receptacles. Blame everyone else for dogging them but not taking responsiblity for the piss poor decisions they make.
My thing about these "true" memoirs is this: Why the hell do these chicks keep making bad decision after bad decision? Why write about it? Surely they're not doing this to help out the next young girl or for "release therapy" and ...don't these chicks have EDITORS to spellcheck before publishing? This book was so poorly written I would have guessed an 11 year old penned it. Also, the pics. I mean...isn't Ms. Jones OBESE? Why all the old pics of her? Show the new ones, with those elephantine sized hamhocks for thighs rubbing against one another or that quadruple chin. Show those. Why didn't she mention how she is OBSESSED with Beyonce Knowles? I mean the chick HAS to have posters with dart holes in them plastered all over her house. Why not mention that? Why not mention how JEALOUS she is of RnB singers who made it big while her one little single hardly got any fan fare. Oh I see...because she couldn't be the VICTIM. Typical.
THANK God I didn't plop down one red cent to buy this crap. I would have been more entertained eating a cabbage/collard green cocktail and listening to my butt bellow out a trumpet-like symphony in an crowded elevator.
It would have been less painful too.

Frommer's Colorado (Frommer's Complete) Review

Frommer's Colorado (Frommer's Complete)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After having used a Frommer's New Mexico, and Frommer's California, I was shocked by the incompleteness of this guide. We stayed in Dillon, Colorado for a week. The guide had one little blurp about Dillon Schoolhouse museum. Frommer's Colorado guide also had nothing on Central City, Black Hawk, and at least a dozen other towns we visited or drove through. There was also nothing on Independence Pass (above Aspen) and multiple other high mountain passes we traversed. Approximately 1 out of every 3 things we looked up in the guide were missing. For us it was a waste of money. This guide may be OK for you if you are only going to big tourist draws like Vail, Aspen, or Rocky Mountain National Park. It does have useful information about the towns and areas it covers. However, if you really go out and explore like we do, this guide will come up short with its omissions. We ended up buying "The Colorado Guide" by Caughey & Winstanley. It provided us with the information we wanted to know. We also used "John Fielder's Best of Colorado" book as we traveled. This large book has amazing color photographs taken throughout Colorado. It is not designed to be a stand alone guidebook. However, it is an incredible visual feast, and a great photographic guide of "where and when" to take pictures in Colorado.

Unlike Frommer's Caribbean Cruises and Ports of Call 2003 which is 736 pages, this is only 320 pages - the right size to travel with. You don't need info on each cruise line while you're on the cruise.
It's great because it tells you exactly how far the town is from the pier and whether it's worth spending $3 on a taxi. Tells you which islands it's best to take an organized tour. Also lists name/phone/web of trips/activities offered by local agencies. Tells you which beaches are overcrowded and frequently by pickpocketers.
Includes walking tour of San Juan, PR with map. If you're spending more time in Miami, buy a separate book. Restaurants are also mentioned as well as hotels in ports of embarkation.

There's a (Slight) Chance I Might Be Going to Hell: A Novel of Sewer Pipes, Pageant Queens, and Big Trouble Review

There's a (Slight) Chance I Might Be Going to Hell: A Novel of Sewer Pipes, Pageant Queens, and Big Trouble
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Change the names, create an absurd little scenario, and call it fiction. As a fan of Notaro's essay collections, this story, "There's a (Slight) Chance I Might Be Going to Hell," didn't surprise or disappoint. It doesn't stretch too far from her roots in writing first person vignettes about a funny, irreverent woman, however, the woman in this story happens to be named "Maye." Maye is clearly a Laurie alter ego, and it helped to have read her earlier collections to get a full picture of this likeable, humble creature.
Maye and her husband, Charlie, move from Phoenix, Arizona to Spaulding, Washington, because of her husband's new job. The plot centers on Maye's insatiable quest to make new friends. She is very unsuccessful--mistaking a coven of witches for a book group, infiltrating a meeting of vegetarians only to be busted eating meat later that night, and making a fool of herself at her first faculty gathering by getting stuck in her sweater and doing a striptease of sorts. She makes an enemy of the town matriarch, Rowena Spaulding, and her postman, who makes it necessary for her to take her dog, Mickey, to obedience training. Ultimately, Maye decides to win friends by attempting to win the annual "Miss Sewer Pipe" crown. She obtains a sponsor, the mysterious former Queen, Ruby Spicer, and as their friendship develops, the story grows more interesting. In spite of all the characters bantering back and forth in overly clever repartee and an annoying abundance of similes, I couldn't help but turn the pages just to see how the town pageant would unfold.
No great piece of literature, but fans of Laurie Notaro will love this book, and I applaud the author for giving "fiction" a crack, even though according to her acknowledgements, she seemed forced into it. Just keep writing Laurie. You make us laugh.

This was a great book! Adam sandler is my 2nd favorite actor. He is one of my greatest inspirations. This taught me a lot about him. He did not have a sad story like Jim Carrey but he is still a great person. This book was written very well and is one of the greatest books I have ever read!

From the comedy clubs of New York to his big break on "Saturday Night Live" to block-buster films like "Big Daddy" and "Little Nicky" Adam Sandler has left America howling in their seats and peeing in their pants. Sandler has emerged as the decade's most unstoppable comedic-and the ladies love him!But how many people know the story behind this lovable comedic prodigy's ascent to fame? Bill Crawford takes you back to Sandler's childhood in a small New Hampshire Town, where his stand-up routines were always hits with his classmates but not necessarily the teachers! When Adam left his small town to take on the big city at New York University, it wasn't always easy, Sandler performed as a street musician crooning Springsteen songs to commuters, but he was destined to succeed.From his long friendship with then college classmate Tim Herlihy, who went on to co-write all Sandler's movies, to being discovered by Dennis Miller and eventually becoming America's funnyman, Bill Crawford looks behind the headlines and tabloid tales to shed new light on this decade's comedic darling.

I am from Chicago, and after borrowing this book from the library so we could enjoy our staycation this summer, I just couldn't live without it and had to purchase one myself. My children and I just love the depth and variety of the information here (although it does not list our favorite sushi restaurant!) With it, we have gone everywhere from Evanston's lighthouse, to the Ba'hai temple, to the various great museums the city has to offer (including the Chicago Historical on a free day!) and it hasn't felt like we've been deprived in any way. This book is the perfect recipe (if not remedy) for the crap economy. We go somewhere new every weekend and the kids are never bored and cranky, so neither are we! SUPER GUIDE!

Very Useful Guide to the Big Apple, it includes pretty much all you need: metro maps, street maps, major attractions, descriptions, and properly selected Tips. Unfortunately no real insider news.
The chosen listing into different districts is great since it shows detail maps for every sightseing spot shown in every district, a rip out full fold map of manhatten is included though too.
Negative:
The suggested "hot clubs" are the common meat markets of the city. The recommended "harlem soul food restaurant" disappointed as well Nothing special...
Buttom Line:
For a short trip to NYC this Book is all you need. Major phone numbers, sight seeing, tips to save money, culture, arts, shopping you'll find it all! To find the really sneaky places you have to talk to the locals!

"Like most pornography, I found Fast Forward to be a relentless and indecent assault on the traditional family values that Americans find most sacred. Makes a great stocking stuffer."—Amy Sedaris

With dreams of becoming a highly respected screenwriter, Eric Spitznagel moves to Los Angeles. When Hollywood fails to notice him, he settles for the next best thing: writing scripts for adult films. Determined to make the most of his bad luck, he sets out to make a movie that will be celebrated more for its witty dialogue and gripping plot than its raw depictions of hardcore sex. As Spitznagel discovers, making the Great American Porn is far from easy, especially when you've been hired to write a sequel to Butt Crazy.

Spitznagel struggles to be taken seriously as an artist, a seeming impossibility in an industry averse to "complicated words." Along the way, he meets a director with delusions of being the porn Kurosawa, an actress with a scholarly knowledge of medical maladies, and an NBA star who might just make the biggest mistake of his life. In an industry devoted to churning out disposable erotica, can one lowly writer make an adult film that compels viewers to admire the plot without hovering a thumb over the fast forward button?

Eric Spitznagel is the author of four humor books, including The Junk Food Companion: A Celebration of Eating Badly (Plume, 1999). His writing appears frequently in Playboy, Esquire, Harper's Magazine, and The Believer.

The Fall of the 1977 Phillies: How a Baseball Team's Collapse Sank a City's Spirit Review

The Fall of the 1977 Phillies: How a Baseball Team's Collapse Sank a City's Spirit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really loved this book. It combines baseball history and social history in a way I've never seen before and shows you just how people's feelings toward their team reflect how they feel about other, larger, things. It also shows just how much a baseball team (at least the Phillies) can affect public perception of these things as well. For instance, I never realized that Philadelphia was not as racist in the 1940's as I'd always heard it was. Instead, as the book points out, it was the Phillies who were responsible for much of this opinion. Also, it shows how the Phillies of the 1950's and '60's pretty much became the personification of all the reasons so many people left the city and migrated towards the suburbs during that time.
As for Black Friday (the 1977 game which forms the focal point of the book -- each chapter begins with a summary of a particular inning), the book shows just how that game contributed to the end of the city's renaissance in the 1970's and how the "negadelphia" image the city is so well-known for returned. I never thought I'd read a book that talks about both Mike Schmidt and Mumia but this one does and ties them together in a way where you really get to see how they both were convenient images for people to use whenever they wanted to either embrace or diss the city. Fascinating.

Click Here to see more reviews about: The Fall of the 1977 Phillies: How a Baseball Team's Collapse Sank a City's Spirit

On October 7, 1977, the Philadelphia Phillies lost a playoff game to the Dodgers, a game that began so hopefully and ended so disastrously that it has become known in Philadelphia simply as "Black Friday." As a season of rare hope and unity crashed to a painful end in a ten-minute sequence of bad plays, so too did the city's urban renaissance falter and an old sense of inferiority return. This ambitious examination of the relationship between the team and city delves deep into Philadelphia's social and baseball history to reveal how the disillusionment of Black Friday affected Philadelphia's self image and fans' relationship to the team they both love and love to hate.

Roger Ebert, by my opinion, is the greatest living film critic out there writing today. He brings a touch of intellectuality to his reviews. They are really informative and interesting. Those who say they are too long must not enjoy reading or being well-informed on a film's intellectual issues. Of course, like a good film critic, I don't always agree with his ratings (I totally disagree with his arguement on giving four stars to "The Last Temptation Of Christ"). But mostly I do, and his video guide is the best out there. I also enjoyed the fact that he keeps old reviews in print. It's interesting to read his comments on films such as "Scarface," "JFK," "Natural Born Killers," and "Apollo 13." Ebert embodies in his books how film criticsm should be approached. He makes Leonard Maltin look like a momma's boy or boy scout (he obviously didn't understand the message in "Natural Born Killers" and obviously coulden't reach the peak of intelligence Ebert shows here). In the area of video guides, Ebert's continues to be the best. I hope he keeps them coming!

I will not even make a stab at trying to point out the numerous flaws and inconsistencies with this work. It is both facile and inaccurate, essentializing the experiences of Asian Americans in an Orientalist context. You are far better served reading any number of historical works that synthesize the experiences of Asian Americans, including Suchen Chan, Asian Americans: An Interpretive History (Boston: Twayne Publishing, 1991); Gary Okihiro, Margins and Mainstreams (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1995); and Ron Takaki, Strangers from a Different Shore, Revised Edition (New York: Penguin, 1998). As a historian of the Asian American experience, I am dismayed when I see anything trying to pass itself off as the end-all be-all. Asian American history is an exciting field with a number of excellent works by cutting-edge scholars. Do not waste your time on this book.
