Did you ever wonder why, because of his basketball skills, Shaq thinks he can rap or act? Or why football players point to the sky after scoring a touchdown (like God has nothing better to do then "bless them with their skils"...although it would explain all the starving children in the world) Or why even after all of the drugs and prostitutes, Charlie Sheen STILL ended up with a honey like Denise Richards? Well Chris does not address any of these issues directly in his book, but he does give us a glimpse of how nearly unreal things like this can happen, by inviting us in the "back door" of the Elliott household to witness the ugly, unvarnished side of celebrity. Living in the shadow of greatness has made it very difficult for many of todays outstanding stars (such as Melissa Rivers and Frank Sinatra Jr.) and Chris is no exception.

While not on the same artistic level as say "Little Women", if you enjoyed "Cabin Boy" or "Get a Life", or you are just a wandering wordsmith hungry for a 'feast of words', you will love this book!

(BTW, the book is obviously hooey, and just another helping of Chris Elliott humour).

When Chris Elliot was busted for the same thing Paul Rubens was a few years back, I had to pull out this hillarious account of life with his father. I now realise that this book is a work of fiction, and I realise, Chris elliot is a liar. His album "Red Beefy Mighty Meaty" (Import Bookleg Only) Was even worse. He made jokes about child porn!! That is sick, and so his he. HIs father also worked on this book, writing some alternating chapters. His father, (Part of the comedy team Bob & Dave) is also a convicted felon. This guy needs to get sober, clean and start living a life away from pree-schools and women's changing rooms. Don't by this lie of a book

Chris Elliott takes you on a candid journey through his tormented life as the son of a famous Father. You will relive a day in an AA meeting where Chris is drinking Rob Roy's, and all the time wondering why they can't have one or two without feeling the urge to drink themselves into oblivion. He takes you to his fatty teen years where he has to be carried to school in a crane, and accompany Him on a fateful trip on the Andrea Doria. This book is without a doubt the best book I've ever read!! I've read it 4 times, and I'll keep rereading it.

What could make HoL better? More rules, more fun and more of the most incredibly clever writing in an RPG! All of that can be found between the slick covers of 'Buttery wHoLesomeness'. The simple rules of HoL are expanded with more options, more fun and more incredible surprises. I gave my copy to my daughter and will be buying another copy for myself!
