Why We Suck by Denis Leary (2008, Hardcover)

Before this book I never even heard of Denis Leary (I'm not much of a tv person). I simply bought the book because the title was funny, the back cover and the dedication made me laugh so I figured I'd give it a whirl…

Basically, if you get through the first two chapters of this book you should be okay, you may even enjoy it. When reading the first chapter I nearly put the book down believing it would read like a senseless-drunken-frat boy wrote it solely for the purpose of trying to be funny without humor or context. However, as I read on the book quickly turned out to be truly comical and light-hearted. Leary opens up about himself, his family and his Irish upbringing. He relates his personal experiences to pop culture, society, life. His satirical humor and personal touch turn the mundane and daily into humorous stories that we can all relate to and laugh at. This personal touch from the hysterical Leary is the only reason the book can carry itself - anyone else telling Leary's stories, or providing the same insight, without his comical skills would fail horribly. Honestly, not every chapter is funny or insightful; however, there are enough giggles and LOLs to make you want to read on. Overall, much of what you read will make you smile. At least I did.

Dr. Denis Leary puts together a owner's manual of the male brain that no female should be without. Women of the world, don't bang your head against the wall when it comes to dealing with your men, read this book, so the next time he scratches his butt in your presence, or picks something out of his ear, smells it, and then wipes it on his shirt, you'll be able to say...'Ahh, Dr, Leary spoke of this very action taken by the male being...'

Thise is an excellent book, one of the best satire book I have read in a really long time. Buy this book.

Can't keep it down! Love this book. Denis Leary once again makes me laugh and I think Im not alone

Loved this book. Laughed 'till I cried "because it's true". I only wish more people would read this book. Unfortunately the ones that need to read it most likely won't be.

A very good friend recommended this book. I found it very honest and funny. Not for the faint of heart or those who do not know Denis Leary's style. He is brutally honest in this book and it is oh so true.

Ordered this book as a gift for my son and had it mailed to Chicago. Exactly as described and delivery as earlier than expected. I would definitely recommend this vendor and will purchase from them again. Price was lower than any other listing but the book was brand new.

Typical Denis Leary humor. This book was laugh-out-loud funny. Denis' outlook on being a parent had me cracking up. I highly recommend this to anyone.

This was a gift for my daughter's boyfriend. We could not find the book anywhere locally so we decided to check e-bay. Luckily we found it here and with shipping it was still cheaper than we would have paid in a store.

I love Rescue Me and when I saw Denis on The Daily Show talking about this book I decided to buy it. Defiantly Denis material in book format. If you like his stuff, then you'll enjoy the book.

Easy, excellent transation. Condition of book was "new" and delivery was quite fast. Wonderfully, easy operation.

It was just what I ordered it was just what I ordered. It was just what i ordered. It was just what i ordered. It was just what I ordered it was just what I ordered. It was just what i ordered. It was just what i ordered. It was just what I ordered it was just what I ordered. It was just what i ordered. It was just what i ordered. It was just what I ordered it was just what I ordered. It was just what i ordered. It was just what i ordered. It was just what I ordered it was just what I ordered. It was just what i ordered. It was just what i ordered.

Try it--you'll like it! Denis Leary is off beat and off the wall...he tackles subjects that are "taboo" and makes them funny yet relevent.

I bought it as a gift. Buyer said it was brand new and it was. My daughter loved the book. Came in a timely manner in time for Christmas.

It was a gift for my mother and she has laughed every time she has read it. Arrived promptly and in great condition.

denis leary really hits the nail on the head the way america has lost its balls. it is refreshing to hear the truth from someone even though it might be a little exagerated, but thats ok cause a certain few can see past that and see the point he is trying to make and not just react to the words coming out of his mouth. its time america grows a set and removes filters and hears it like it is. Dr Denis Leary....Job very well done. PS i hate reading and i could not put this book down.
