humor

Jay Leno has been called "the nicest guy in Hollywood" and this book is part of the proof. If you are looking for hot gossip or name-dropping, this is not the book for you, Jay doesn't go in for that. Leno tells the story of his rise as a comedian, starting with comical childhood experiences. I found this book very funny in parts, but it's an autobiography, not a non-stop laugh riot. If you're not a Jay fan or a budding comedian who can relate to his tales, this book may be a little slow for you. I found his casual, talkative and sentimental writing style unpretentious and refreshing. As a big Jay fan myself,I enjoyed this book and rate it an "8"

im in the process of reading "leading with my chin" by jay leno, and so far i am astonished at how increadably funny it is! my teacher assigned us to read a biography or bibliography of our choice, and last minute i was in frantic search for a book. a friend of mine handed me the bio and told me, "read it. its funny, and it goes fast!" to my surprise, she was right. the book is a joy to read, even to those who dont like reading much *caugh* *caugh*. "leading with my chin" is no less than a 5 star book.

After reading this book, some of the stories seem fabricated. I have heard these "stories" from other people. Like your monologue. Old and borrowed.
