I have never been a fan of Chris Farley. I thought his "Matt the Motivational Speaker" character was terrible. His humor just never did anything for me. The Mister has the opposite reaction to Farley's "work", so I checked this book out for him. After reading the introduction (and crying a little) I was hooked. His sense of humor may never have resonated, but the struggles and pain he experienced certainly did. Even as jaded as I am about Hollywood, fame, and movie stars, I'm always struck by how troubles don't skip over the famous but instead seem to latch on. Monday, July 21, 2008

Interesting... Farley never really appealed to me, either, and I'm intrigued to hear that you got so much out of this book about him. Like you, I'm not into Hollywood stories, but is sounds like there's some depth here.
