Good book

I loved this book. It was funny at times, sad at times. But definitely a happy ending.

Inspiring, and exillerating--the (blessed) burden of genus

For those fans of the show, this tome represents a dilectable treet. You already know what to expect from the man who composed "girlfriend," and who demunstrated his quick wit and verve day in and day out on America's favorite show. But for the rest of the world, watch out! If this tale of woe and redemption doesn't merit a National Book Award, then my renewed faith in there judgment after giving Steven King his due honors is extremely misplaced. I read Saul Bellow once, who one won of those, and it was just confusing. I didn't even like the characters. But in Bob's story, he's the main character, and we all know that he's likeable. Likewise, editor Amy Hertz does a great job. I didn't see any spelling errors that I could recognize, and she seems like a real helpful secretary.

Good things happen to good people

I felt like I was reading Bob's diary. How wonderful to know that sometimes this world lines up for us. Bob's efforts at constant self-improvement and self-awareness should inspire us all to grow from our challenges and set backs. This book is full of humor, wisdom, love, and personal victories!

Truly inspiring!

Bob is funny as ever in this book, but I never expected him to be so wise. His philosophy about how we should be grateful for what we've got is so true, and his attitude about love and life is a breath of fresh air. I'm going to give this book as a gift to a couple of friends who have forgotten that when you're given lemons, you should make lemonade.

I loved the honesty

I loved the honesty of this book. It says a lot about Bob that he was not afraid to expose his feelings about love and life in this book for everyone to read. It's obvious that he loves his family and turned to them when his life was falling apart. Cheers to Bob for being warm and honest. The book was great!
