This book is a commentary on America and it's culture from the perspective of comedian Denis Leary. Need I say more?
Why We Suck is pretty much what you would expect from Leary. It's loud, obnoxious, rude, offensive, crude and absolutely hysterical. Even when he's making fun of something you may like or enjoy, it's hard not to laugh.
Here's a few things I learned from Dr. Leary:
1. He loves Oprah. Who woulda thunk it?
2. He hates spoiled celebrities (aka Britney and Lindsay)
3. He is a devoted family man who loves his wife and children.
4. He, like myself and much of America, would love to see Michael Vick torn to pieces by starving dogs.
And that's just a very few of the topics touched on within this rant. I call it a rant, because like much of Leary's stand-up, that's pretty much what this is. If you don't like Leary, don't read this book. If you can't laugh at yourself or if you don't have a sense of humor, don't read this book.
However, if you're someone who can appreicate Leary's sense of humor then this book is for you.
