Here's the Deal: Don't Touch Me by Howie Mandel, Josh Young

3.0

I'm a Howie fan - from current Deal or No Deal & America's Got Talent work, all the way back to the Little Monsters of my childhood. I found this memoir a light read, with plenty of good laughs. I learned a lot about his background/childhood, as well as more about his ongoing mental-health struggles. I couldn't believe some of the jokes he played on people...boy, oh, boy did he push the boundaries (sometimes a bit too far)! I must also add that I listened to the audio version, which was narrated by Howie himself. I'm so happy to have done this because he's a natural narrator, and was able to demonstrate many of his "voices." The narrative of this book was a bit all over the map at times, but that just seemed to reflect Mandel's true nature. I'd love to hear him discuss AGT stories, as this book was published before he became a judge on the show.
