In this book, you will find to and fro interesting anecdotes about the early Crystal B. in show business, then of the highlights of his career (TV, comedy club, cinema ...) sprinkled funny and sometimes poignant reflections on the passage of time, the family, politics, etc. But the nugget is rare. Too often the author looks to write, and he writes lacks some substance, IMHO. The same Billy Crystal, I suggest rather "700 Sundays" story of his childhood and adolescence: it is denser, more touching.
