A short, knocked off, intermittently hilarious mock biog of a mock man mocking biogs. I have given it five stars, because this book commemorates The Larry Sanders Show, and as such is little short of a religious artifact. You can't give an artifact anything other than five stars, really. "This shroud has an imprint of the face of our Lord!" "Oh yeah... ah, it's not all that."
Love you Garry.

As a Larry Sanders fanatic a little underwhelmed by this which will trigger some rueful smiles but then it would hardly have been realistic for Larry to have laboured long and hard to give us a comedic masterpiece. Perhaps a thousand page biog of Artie wold have been better, maybe giving us the inside story of Rip Torn's filmed fight with Notman Mailer, a YouTube classic.
Entertaining, if fluffy. Doesn't have the same concentrated bite as the show did.
If you're a fan of the show, you'll probably be a fan of the book too.
