Title: Mr.Warmth
Review: The first time I saw Don Rickles was at the Boulevard nightclub on Queen Boulevard in Queens a hundred or so years ago. I was 15 and was there to celebrate a friend's sweet sixteen party. It was one of the first times I had ever been on a date and the evening was sweet. Then the entertainment started. A very young, balding bullet headed man came on stage and though he looked benign, in a minute he proceeded to rip into and destroy anyone and everyone in sight. The sweet sixteen girl was his main target and everyone in the place roared and no one more than the guest of honor herself. The man was hilarious. I don't recall how long his set was (a half hour? longer?)but I do remember it was so irreverent and hilarious that, when later, I saw him sitting at the bar, I got my courage up, walked up to him, shook his hand and asked if I could buy him a drink. He smiled and let me! My date and I sat with him and a warmer, kinder man you would not want to meet. Thus began my love affair with Don Rickles, a love affair that has not dwindled over the years. I have made special trips to Vegas just to see him and even ventured to the wastelands of Westbury to see him and Joan Rivers in concert. I have seen all of his movies, and even bought his LP...now I have bought his book and I loved it.Don, you are the best. May you go on forever...and if you do, you can be sure that I'll be there slipping the maitre 'd a few bucks to get a ringside seat. A great comedian, a great man and a great book. Thanks for all of it, Don.

Title: Excellent Read!
Review: This autobiography is well written and kept my interest. I enjoyed reading Don Rickles own words about his life and the stars he met and worked with throughout his career. The chapters are short and entertaining.

Title: Lightweight...
Review: I have never been a fan of Don Rickles. When he passed away recently, I listened to an old interview and thought that I would like to learn more about the man. So I ordered Rickles' Book: A Memoir, co-written with David Ritz, which I found a bit of a disappointment.Rickles' Book isn't a typical autobiography. Instead, this book consists of stories and anecdotes that are normally four pages or less. Rickles begins with his parents and his early childhood. Throughout, he will talk about various events in his life (growing up, serving in the Navy, his father's death, his wedding, etc.). But he doesn't spend much time with his personal life. The majority of the memoir covers his professional life and his entertainer friends, including Frank Sinatra and Bob Newhart. Some of the stories are informative. We learn that Don's mother, Etta, visited Frank Sinatra's mom, Dolly. Etta encouraged Dolly to get Frank to visit Don when he was performing. They quickly became good friends. He writes a lot about his best friend, Bob Newhart. Although they were total opposites, their friendship was based on “the same basic values: nutty humor and family love.”But I gave Rickles' Book three stars for the following reasons. First, it is a very short read. With lots of blank pages between stories, plus pictures, you can read it in one sitting. And second, I later discovered that the stories in Rickles' Book are lifted directly from his stage routines. If you are a fan, you won't find much new here.I would still like to learn more about Don Rickles the man, rather than the entertainer. I guess that I will just have to try a biography.

Title: You knew what you were getting
Review: The Rickles book showcases everything you think about the insult genius. You also learn about the softer side of the man. It is a neat ride.

We both adore and miss Don Rickles, he was one of a kind and this book highlights some of his funniest moments - both on stage and personal life. With every turn of the page I could hear my husband laughing! We recommend this book to all of Rickles’ fans out there!

Review: The book is entertaining and easy to read, so much so, that I finished it in one sitting and wished it were longer. You can't help but read the book in Don's voice as he re-tells old stories with greater detail and unearths other stories I had never heard yet. Don's humor, compassion, and love for life shine through every page of this book, and I loved it!

Title:
Review: Don Rickles ist ein Stück lebendige amerikanischer TV-Unterhaltungsgeschichte. Seine Biografie ist vergleichbar mit der Entwicklung des amerikanischen Fernsehens. Er erzählt von seinem Leben, der harten Lehrzeit als Schauspieler und wie er seine ersten Jobs als Comedian bekam.Die enge Freundschaft mit Frank Sinatra, bis zu dessen Tod, zieht sich als roter Faden durch das ganze Buch.So ist Rickles`Book auch mehr die Geschichte einer Freundschaft, nämlich der zu Frank Sinatra.Eindringlich erzählt Don Rickles auch von seiner Mutter, die sein grösster Fan und Förderer war. Vielleicht wurde deshalb auch aus Don Rickles "Mr. Warmth".So ist Rickles`Book schöne leichte Unterhaltung. Bleibende Eindrücke hinterlässt es aber nicht.
