[.ca] Howard Stern A to Z: The Stern Fanatic's Guide to the ... (ISBN 0312151446)



From Amazon.com:
With Howard Stern A to Z Luigi Lucaire has created an entirely new literary genre: the alphabetical biography. It makes so much sense it's amazing no one thought of it before. You want to hear the story of Howard Stern's homosexual experience? Just look under "H." When did Howard start using Windows 95? The answer comes right after a note about Howard's childhood appreciation of ventriloquist Paul Winchell and right before a short article about how much he hates Oprah Winfrey. If you're a Stern fan this is a must-have, but as someone who never listens to obnoxious morning disc jockeys, I still found it compelling reading as the first instance of a new literary form.


NOT A REVOLUTIONARY IDEA:
The editor of "Pop Culture" wonders why no one had ever conceived of the "alphabetical biography" before dear Luigi. Well, some one did. His name was Randall Riese. And the book was the brilliant "Unabridged James Dean".


Do yourself a favour and forget this book:
I saw this on sale at a local store for 1.99$ There were literally dozens of unsold copies. I figured, "what the heck, how can I go wrong for under 2 bucks?" After reading this piece of garbage, I realized I would have been happier with the money. The idea of an alphabetical bio of Stern is appealing, yet this particular incarnation is little more than a half-brained attempt to cash in on Stern's hard-fought popularity. It contained nothing a casual fan wouldn't already know. Furthermore, Lucaire seemed to go out of his way to mention Judaism whenever possible, and his tone sometimes suggested an underlying anti-semitic attitude. If you are a Stern fan, do yourself a favour and pick up Private Parts or Miss America instead. A to Z rates only an F.
