A friend of mine who does professional stand up comedy gave this to me. He grabbed an extra copy off his shelf at home and said, “Here. Read it. Keep it.” He said it in a way that made it clear he loved the play and wanted to share it with others. Then he said, “The scene where he loses his virginity will blow your mind.”

If you've seen John Leguizamo's one man HBO special of Freak, there is no need to read this book. After watching it numerous times in the past, this book is pretty much word for word of the stand-up special. Not that it's a bad thing, his story telling is always entertaining and filled with laughs. :)
3 stars may be a bit harsh on my part. The only reason it doesn't get 4 is because it's basically the script to his one man show "Freak" which is amazing, but I was hoping that he'd supplement it or add something different for the book.
It's a hilarious and quick read. Perfect coffee table book.

I got this from the dollar tree for $1. It's not a well written book, but you can learn about john leguizamo. Now I know you're probably thinking "who cares about john leguizamo??" and you're right. Nobody cares. But some of the stories are funny, and it's guarateed to depress!
He is FREAKING hilarious! To watch his standup after reading this makes him even more of a comic genius!
When you read this book you will laugh out loud about every thirty seconds.
saw the HBO special and loved it...have to read it..
