Resumen del Editor

The man who brought the kavorka to the Seinfeld show through one of the most remarkable and beloved television characters ever invented, Kramer, shares the extraordinary life of a comedy genius—the way he came into himself as an artist, the ups and downs as a human being, the road he has traveled in search of understanding.

“The hair, so essential, symbolizes the irrational that was and is and always will be the underlying feature not only of Kramer but of comedy itself. This seemingly senseless spirit has been coursing through me since childhood. I’ve been under its almighty influence since the day I came into this world. I felt it all within myself, especially the physical comedy, the body movements, so freakish and undignified, where I bumped into things, knocked stuff down, messed up situations, and often ended up on my ass.

“This book is a hymn to the irrational, the senseless spirit that breaks the whole into pieces, a reflection on the seemingly absurd difficulties that intrude upon us all. It’s Harpo Marx turning us about, shaking up my plans, throwing me for a loop. Upset and turmoil is with us all the time. It’s at the basis of comedy. It’s the pratfall we all take. It’s the unavoidable mistake we didn’t expect. It’s everywhere I go. It’s in the way that I am, both light and dark, good and not-so-good. It’s my life.”—Michael Richards, from Entrances and Exits

Disappointed it didn’t fold out to a coffee table!

I may never buy another audiobook that’s not read by the author. What a great listen! His Seinfeld stories were great. His childhood is interesting. His unabashed retelling of the meltdown on the stand up stage was fantastic. If you’re a Seinfeld fan; I can’t recommend enough. If you’re not; I can’t recommend this enough. Side note: His Jay Leno voice is dead-on.

Phenomenal

Great insight on his journey, and his entrances and exits. Who knew he was in the Army?

Michael is a seeker

He wrote so elegantly about his journey to find himself and where he belonged , now we know!

So much POW! Mind blowing, and an inside scoop of the life of Michael Richards. A MUST CHECK OUT!!!

This is a must read about the life of Michael Richards, the man behind many faces including Cosmo Kramer. This book had many ups and downs and really just mind blowing stories, so far chapter 15: The Truth was so raw that I even cried, that one was deep. Chapter 24: The Coming Home was so good and heartfelt. The infamous Chapter 27: Not Funny took more of an inside scoop of the incident and the aftermath. And last but not least Chapter 31: The Light was just amazing. Like really this is a must read and I hope to see Michael Richards one day just to shake his hand and thank him for this book. He really went outta the ballpark with this one. <3

Great insight into a very interesting individual.

Absolutely enjoyed the stories, thoughts, views and insight on situations that have rarely been covered.

Michael’s frankness

Michael has always been one of my favorite comedians. I enjoyed it very much. I can understand him now and he’s a brilliant comedian giddyup.

Best Audiobook I've Listened To In Some Time!

I've really enjoyed this one. Michael Richards is a great writer and narrator. He narrates with such great expression, keeping the listener fully engaged with his crafty writing style. I've already recommended this book to friends/family and one of them has already started it. I haven't shared any of my favorite parts with them, there are so many, as I want them to be as surprised and intrigued as I was. I'm looking forward to them catching up so we can talk about it. Overall, it's a really great book and you learn so much more about the author than you ever knew. You will not be disappointed in this masterpiece of an audiobook. Thank you for reading my review.

Good story telling

Michael is great at creating a picture that you can visualize while listening. Two thumbs up.

Honest, humble, inspiring

I learned a lot about Mike Richard’s I never knew. Adversity, poverty, military service, his honest and humble look at himself and his mistakes, also his thankfulness of his success. Very well narrated, funny at times, sad at times, but honest. In my book, if you can be honest, apologize, be grateful and inspire, look at your own faults and admit them, you are a real man. Mr. Richard’s, your book touched me, well done and “giddy up”.

Surprisingly Wonderful

I'm a long-time fan of Seinfeld and Kramer is certainly one of my favorite characters. I learned of Michael's book from one of his first press interviews. No sense in sugar coating it, the interview was terrible. What I didn't know at the time is what an introverted soft-spoken man Micheal is. But, I took a chance on the book. I figured it couldn't be any worse than that dreadful appearance on Good Morning. Wow. Just, "wow." Micheal is deeply introspective, thoughtful, and open--despite his own awareness and introverted-ness. He's a wonderful storyteller and narrator, and I enjoyed listening to every second of his beautiful book.
