About me: "[a] rip-roaring memory mosaic. With talents such as Mike Myers, Chris Rock, Conan O’Brien and David Spade analyzing his humor and detailing Farley’s escapades and hijinks, this is a boisterous book the comedian’s fans will want to buy, borrow or steal."
--Publishers Weekly
"Essential for Farley and SNL fans, and a sterling example of oral biography—well-structured, consistently engaging and simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Who I'd like to meet: People who want to pre-order me at:
I would just like to say you guys did a great job at putting this book together and it gave me insight into who Chris really was. It really made me appreciate his work so much more. I couldn't put down the book, I just wanted to keep getting to know one of my favorite comedians and I'm glad you showed America his drive and his passion for comedy, despite the bad that happened in his life. He really did have a huge impact on people, and I'd like to thank you guys for such a wonderful insight into the life of the one and only Chris Farley.
Thanks for the add on here and facebook. This book meant a lot to me! Thank you so much for sharing the memories with all of us! I wish I could have met him... thanks again!!
I love Chris Farley, i wish so bad he was still around! I wish he could have done Fatty Arbuckle - i know it would have been brilliant! I guess we cant blame god for wanting Chris up there - if one person could make even god laugh, it would be him! Miss you Chris
This is an emotional touching tribute to Chris. It is beautiful and had me crying and laughing. I wish there were more natural, honest, and generous people who gave as much as Chris Farley. I hope to meet him in Heaven someday........Thank you for this book
So I forced myself until I read the end that I knew was coming. 2:30am in bed laughing and crying at the same time. I felt horrible and enlightened at the same time.
Dan Akroyd stoic in the end had me grasped. This was a book of all flavors, good and bad.
I had to finish, no matter what, even when I wanted the ending to be a pop-up book with Chris's version of Shrek making a 3D cameo.
Heart tugging, surreal, painful, and humbling...this book made me feel like I wanted Chris as my best friend.
I now feel what the authors and friends felt after reading this book, and that is a difficult emotion to evoke.
someone made this video in remembrance of Chris. It's all very touching and good.. except for the last scene... which they shouldnt of added. Because he didn't want to die. So, get out your tissues and dont forget to smile and remember him for all the good things he was and the laughter that he gave this world... he touched my heart... we miss you Chris!
I was one of the first to buy Chris's official biography. You have no idea how much we miss Chris and his own special brand of comedy. Not many comedians make me laugh, but when Chris made that monolouge in Mr. Brady's office in Tommy Boy, I nearly soiled myself! Plus I always loved Bill Swerski's superfans and who can forget the Chippendale's scene (if you look at Patrick Swayze closely, you can tell he is struggling to keep a straight face). Its been ten years but Chris's memory lives on.
Just Finished the Book,It was a very honest story. It was a Great read and I felt more than a little saddened. Chris will always be remembered for not only his talent,But his love of people.
Im glad that i read this book. It was very informative of what Chris's life was like. I never had any idea until i read this book. He was and still is my idol of comedy.....R.I.P. Christopher Crosby Farley......you are missed, and may god be with you.
