Customer Reviews
Decent
If you’re a big Stern fan, this isn’t a bad listen. There are some dull parts at the beginning where Jackie gives the history of his family. Mainly it’s Jackie telling his version of stories others have told about him… he always insists “this is the REAL version” and everyone else (friends, coworkers, Rodney Dangerfield…) are all lying about him. To put it bluntly I didn’t believe Jackie in his version of events since he has this strange position that everyone else lies about him.
Great listen!!
As an loyal Howard Stern fan, I’ve always loved Jackie Martling. When he left the show I was shocked. This tells the behind the scenes of what really happened. If you were a stern fan from the beginning, then you should buy this book!! Great read & audio listen!
