With its focus largely on a relatively short timeframe, there is inevitably a lot of repetition of jokes, stories and ideas. The editing does very little to help in this regard and it is crying out for greater context. There however can be no faulting the jokes, stories and ideas themselves.

Every laugh you get from reading this book, is recognition of a truth. Pure genius

I didn't enjoy this book. Stand up comedy written down does not translate well. The transcripts were very repetitive, this is probably very interesting for an avid fan to see how Hicks' shows developed over time. The Letterman debacle was interesting to read about, as were Hicks' letters and interviews.

Bill hicks deserves 99 stars out of 5. He was one of a kind. The rock and roll king of stand up comedy.
Four stars is for the repetitive of the routines, I was hoping for more earlier material of Hicks stand ups.
