I LOVE Billy Crystal.  Through the years he has made me laugh, made me cry and made me think. "When Harry Met Sally" made me believe in real love.  "City Slickers" made me laugh about aging, and "Forget Paris"...well, it was Paris.   I believe he was the best Academy Awards host.  I even believe he is a good family man.  This book took me through all of his experiences, good and not so good, with a smile on my face.

Billy is a baby boomer, and boomers have always proclaimed that proudly.  Suddenly he is seeing the downside...sixty-five isn't always booming.  With his amazing wit, Crystal talks about the aging issues that we all face, but only Billy can make a colonoscopy funny.  The book jumps through the stages of his professional life, and the reader remembers them fondly.  "Saturday Night Live", "Soap", his stand-up routines and of course, "When Harry Met Sally" to name a few.

To be totally fair, there were parts of the book that I wasn't thrilled with, and parts that seemed out of character.  He seemed angry at times and disrespectful at other times.  Humor is an interesting thing though, and one man's disrespect is another man's humor.  Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this book and read it in the same way you watch the comedian...with an open mind and sense of humor.
