The I Chong by Tommy Chong (2006, Hardcover)

If you are a fan of Cheech and Chong then you are going to love this book! Tommy Chong talks alot about his private personal life. Growing up poor in Canada. His parents. His wives, his children, his beliefs both religous, and political, and his friends and partners in show business (he talks about Cheech a little, too.) He goes on about being accepted in prison by a very culturally diverse population and if people would get along on the outside they way that they do in "the joint" then we would'nt have half the problems that we do. Of course, it was a minimum security prison. I found him very entertaining, and quite profound at times. I was hard to believe these stories, these words were coming from the stoner/hippie/slug whose movies I grew watching. I felt sorry for him at times. I wished I were him at other times. I always liked chong the stoner-comic, and now, I like Chong the individual!

This book was fantastic ! I almost didnt buy the book because I saw the A/K/A TOMMY CHONG video. I am so glad I did buy the book!!! This book offers an insight into the Tommy Chong the man rather than Tommy Chong the performer. I was most impressed with just how spiritual this man is and his deep unconditional love for his family !! If you are a Tommy Chong fan, This book is a must read ! Even if you are not a fan, I can guarentee if you read this book, you will take something from it that you will carry all the days of your life !!! Buy this book today !!
