Very touching, thorough account of an amazing career. Besides his enormous talent, what comes through is his caring for others and senses of gratitude and humility. Wonderful read.

This book was a journey through time so well written while it’s non-fiction the humor and story line could be a movie. A page turner and order dinner because your not going to put it down to cook.

It was a well written, entertaining , and witty biography but more about his personal life would have been welcomed.

This guy had made me laugh my whole life!!! Great book.

My first encounter with Mel Brooks was as four-year old in the Fifties throwing tantrums to be allowed to stay up and watch Your Show of Shows with my parents. I had no idea what was going on of course but my parents laughed so hard and were so happy I just wanted to be a part of it. With this book I got to relive all the happy Mel Brooks experiences that happened from then on and now I have a bunch of new ones from all the stuff I didn’t know before. Thanks Mel Brooks.

I can’t wait till my memory starts to go so I can read again for the first time.

Fun book, amazing life.

I loved every single page of this book. His memories bring humor to mine.

A fun quick jaunt down memory lane inside the head of a very funny man.

Easy to read, funny biography of Mel’s interesting life. I gave it four instead of five because out of nowhere he says he got divorced and he never once mentioned meeting or marrying his first wife. Also, the last chapter isn’t as good as he just talks about receiving awards and politics. Overall, a funny book especially the time he met Bob Hope during WWII and then later in life become famous and get to know Bob Hope as a peer! You never know where life will take you!
