Dirty Daddy - Bob Saget's Funny & Poignant Memoir

As I read this laugh out loud funny autobiography which is stupefyingly awash with grief,  I questioned whether there was a ghostwriter somewhere between the sheets.  Bob had no qualms hanging out his dirty laundry.  He also unabashedly wears his love for his family & friends,  especially his 3 daughters, on his sleeves.  In fact, there is no attempt at restraint in sharing his life & lessons learned.  Nor is there any filtering to all the thoughts racing through his eccentric & razor sharp mind.  Saget's book jumps loudly off the pages; as if he's doing standup directed specifically at you.  Told with zany humor is Bob's iconic career in entertainment made all the more incredulous knowing the many tragedies within his family.  Bob embraces his Danny Tanner character for the steadfast friendships that stemmed from the family friendly Full House sitcom.  Reading Dirty Daddy reveals Bob's true potty mouth & comedic genius.  From Bob's CHRONICLES of a FAMILY MAN TURNED FILTHY COMEDIAN you connect with a person who embraces life and "how humor helped {him} survive."  For the gifted, gutsy, irreverent comics who are able to make us laugh, thank you for making our lives brighter & more bearable.  Bob ends his book addressing whether or not he used a ghostwriter.   "The answer is yes.  It was Ernest Hemingway."  Bob, thanks for the memories.
