Sometimes the angels punish us by answering our prayers.
Very fast read The stories are entertaining and funny. As with most great books, I'm sad it's over. I could read another 20 chapters.

I wanted more. The bit about all the comedians in trench coats was good, but it definitely could have used more CPO Sharkey anecdotes.
I said, "Doc, ya gotta help me! I keep thinking about suicide!" He said, "here, take Rickles' book. Another patient said it really helped him in the note he left." I said, "Doc, ya gotta help me!

My dad loved Don Rickles. Most people born of the greatest generation did. And I can see why. Don Rickles was a clever performer and performed in a way that every night would be different, because he played the crowd.And Don Rickles was a kind and very caring person. Even comics today love him. Any even though his schtick was difficult in the PC generation, he still was respected.

This book lets you see behind the act and the schtick. You get to know the stories (all in one place) from the man himself. In a time where glamour was real (unlike now) and people understood hard work.. Don had class, creativity and a great circle of talented friends that loved his work ethic.
Don Rickles will be missed along with the greats that have passed. And although I wish I could have seen him perform live, this book was a really nice consolation.

Lately, I've been watching a ton of the old Dean Martin celebrity roasts. And whenever Rickles appears, I look forward to his monologue. In these roasts, he is very aggressive with his humor, but when he gets sentimental/sincere, it's flabbergasting!

These moments made me curious about his life and I quickly devoured this book in a single sitting.This books is very short, especially considering the career that Rickles had, and I feel that so much more could have been said. Basically, this is a brief outline of his life/career, and I would like to find out more. His voice came through really strong and it did feel like he was narrating the book to me as I read it. His humor didn't have the same aggression that it usually has, so if you're not a fan of his due to that, you might enjoy this book. I really looked forward to the snippets of Sinatra (I'm a huge HUGE Sinatra fan) and I gobble up all information on him.
Overall, this was good. If you want easy book that will make you laugh out loud at times, this will do it.

This should've been SO MUCH BETTER. Avoid it! Even if you're a fan of this sardonic windbag. He's still a hero of mine, but the guy who convinced him to chop up his life into attention deficit sized bites should be punched in the nuts. Each chapter is just another clever little one to three page anecdote. Not really a thorough memoir, as such. This guy's life could fill THREE books if done right. Instead, I'm left with tiny snippets that don't quite satisfy my hunger for stories of Rickles. How This should've been SO MUCH BETTER. Avoid it! Even if you're a fan of this sardonic windbag.

You won't get anything out of this book that you couldn't get by reading or watching an interview with Rickles. Once you remove all the blank pages, this comes out to be about 100 pages long. It's just a series of 2- and 3-page segments that tell stories from his life, but it's not particularly illuminating. If you see it at a dollar store, feel free to pick it up. Otherwise, watch him on Letterman. The old man is still sharp and does a good job when he's on with Dave.

One of the first records I owned was "Hello Dummy" by Don Rickles, an acidic attack on every minority to ever walk the earth,and it was devastatingly funny. Rickles' Book is a lot like that, quick, short and funny.

I like rickles, used to watch on appear on TV sporadically in the 80's, though his kind of humour is hard to appreciate, especially today. More so, it is hard to translate into a book, so I think a lot of what makes him funny isn't captured here. the writing, very short episodic chapters, seem rather disjointed and uneven.

A quick & easy read - & so funny!

Hey, Hockey Puck! What ya readin'? Can't you hear him now? For 50 years, Don Rickles has made people laugh, mostly by making fun of them and often venturing into territory no man in his right mind would go. In 'Rickles' Book' (he couldn't come up with a title), the man chronicles his life from his early days in Brooklyn taking any jobs he could get as an entertainer (bar mitzvahs and weddings were the mainstays back then) to his slow-but-steady rise to fame in the clubs of New York, Miami, Holly Hey, Hockey Puck! What ya readin'? Can't you hear him now? For 50 years, Don Rickles has made people laugh, mostly by making fun of them and often venturing into territory no man in his right mind would go. In 'Rickles' Book' (he couldn't come up with a title), the man chronicles his life from his early days in Brooklyn taking any jobs he could get as an entertainer (bar mitzvahs and weddings were the mainstays back then) to his slow-but-steady rise to fame in the clubs of New York, Miami, Hollywood and eventually Las Vegas. Along the way, this 'King of Zing' rubbed shoulders and performed with many of the greats of comedy, TV and the movies. His escapades with everyone from Clark Gable to Jackie Gleason in the 50's and 60's, to guys like Johnny Carson and even Ronald Reagan in the 70's and 80's, make for a colorful collection of stories. The most heartfelt ones are reserved for his mother, Etta, who managed to manuever 'the Great Summit' in Miami, where she convinced Dolly Sinatra to have her boy Frank check out Don's act while the two were booked in the same city for several weeks. Sinatra and Rickles ended up becoming life-long buddies and Rickles' stories of Frank in Vegas and Palm Springs make for enjoyable, lighthearted reading.
With the passing of a generation of guys like Hope, Berle, Carson, Parr, the Rat Pack and the others referenced in the book, Rickles is certainly one of the last remaining connections to the most famous era of the classic American comedian. That, and his self-revealing story, are what make this book a special read.
...more It's no secret to those close to me that I think Don Rickles is by far the greatest stand-up act ever. Name me one other act who could put both big name stars like Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope on the same plateau as Jim from Nebraska visiting Las Vegas for the first time? Don's insult humor was always done with a bit of warmth...in fact it may be why Johnny Carson really did refer to Don as "Mr. Warmth".

Don's insult humor was always done with a bit of warmth...in fact it may be why Johnny Carson really did refer to Don as "Mr. Warmth". This is a charming book written by Don Rickles that recalls his early days the son of Max and Etta Rickles (both of whom he speaks warmly of) and how he went from a young dramatic actor to a WWII veteran with the U.S. Navy to Las Vegas attraction to comedy legend. Along the way there are stories of Don working on films with big names like Clark Gable, dinners with Jack Benny, failed TV shows, guest appearances with Johnny Carson, hanging out with Bob Newhart and staying over at Frank Sinatra's house. It's a wonderful look at a guy who no matter what he says to you on stage doesn't really doesn't mean any harm and you may even walk out of the casino thinking you struck it rich interacting with him. ...more

Saw Rickles in an Indian casino recently and he KILLED! What an inspiration. In his mid-80s, Rickles stomped the stage and owned the audience, his hair-trigger tongue as agile as it has ever been.But Rickles was never a traditional stand-up, eschewing the written joke in favor of the in-the-moment, cold-cocking ad-lib.

"Rickles' Book" suffers mainly in comparison to the explosive wit of the man in flesh. The anecdotes are pleasant enough, and the old-timey show biz stories about Sinatra and Bob Newhart are a lot of fun. But there's no bite here, and Rickles without an edge just doesn't feel like Rickles at all.
I think there's probably a more interesting narrative hiding here among the Ed Sullivan tales, with several oblique references to his mob ties. Maybe that's a story that Rickles can't tell, but it's one I would rather have heard.

Rickles' memoir was an easy read and quite fascinating. Though the book isn't all that thick it is filled with bits of Rickles' that allow the reader to check under the hood and see what makes this man run. I expected a wise-ass abrasive commentary on life but what I got was an outline of the times and how Rickles' life fed into it all. I also learned bits about Sinatra who was an integral part of Rickles' life, events others would either dare not mention or approach in a trashy tell-all journal Rickles' memoir was an easy read and quite fascinating.

Then in the next sentence he'll immediately follow-up stating his love for the man quirks and all. Some insight into the early showbiz scene in Miami as well. This book was a fun read. ...more

I never knew he was from Jackson Heights, Queens, never knew just how he got his breaks in the business, where he honed his craft, how important Sinatra was to his career, how much he loved his Mom, and lots of other stuff about him. An insult comic, but in reality, a sweet and loving family man. I remember seeing him so many times on the Dean Martin Roasts and he always slayed me (now I watch on youtube!).

Like all of us, I watched Don Rickles on TV and in movies throughout my life. What impresses me is that although he is an improvisational comedian, who likes to single people out in the audience and joke about them, he does it with a lot of restraint, class, and professionalism. The book shows his deep sense of humility, family and love for his many friends. I was surprised to find out our Apollo 17 astronauts even listened to one of his comedy tapes on the moon.

I think I can best describe this book as feeling like you're on your couch flipping through TV stations and on each one Don Rickles is doing a different talk show telling a different story.

Light, zippy, anecdotal read from the "King of the Zing", who proves to be infectiously full of life. Written very conversationally, you can hear his unmistakable voice coming off the page to relate tales of Vegas in the 60's and Miami Beach in the 50's. Rickles really has seen it all and then some, but don't expect a ton of details.

Although sarcastically nicknamed "Mr. Warmth" due to his offensive and insensitive stage personality, in reality most know him to be actually quite genial and pleasant. It has been said that being insulted by Rickles is like "wearing a badge of honor".

"Harry is a black man, and I'm a white man. We obviously come from different backgrounds, but we stand together on this stage as brothers. And as a brother, I must say these race riots are terrible. It's awful how stores are being looted. The burning, the rioting, the stealing. But if, God forbid, it does happen again—and I pray it doesn't—all I can say is, 'Harry, I could use a couch and a couple of end tables." — 1 likes
