Great Book
Excellent book that considers several factors including gender guiding lines,family atmosphere, culture, as well as the nature of addiction in providing an analysis of these three sad lives.

Great Book!!
Very well crafted work here. The author provides a great deal of compelling evidence to suggest how early Lifestyle patterns influence faulty thinking later on in life. Beyond the technical aspects of this technique, this book takes great pain to identify the struggles each of these men underwent to set things right in their lives, while still falling victim to their deeply habituated behavior. I never fully considered how common these compensatory behaviors are in comedians, and this book definitely holds a light up to this phenomenon. ... Read more

Great subject, well meaning, but way too short.
As a fan of Chris Farley's work on SNL and in movies, I was looking forward to some insight into this troubled man's life.Sadly, this book contains precious little insight into Chris and his sad demise.

If you too have laughed out loud at the antics and performances made famous by Chris, and were saddened by his early passing, then you may find this book an interesting, albeit very brief, look at his career and life.However, the in depth analysis is lacking and the book is far too short for the price.

Less Than What I Expected
I beleive I know more about Chris Farley than Ms. Anderson does. Seems as though she only watched the Saturday Night Live sketches because she had too.
This book reads like a high school essay. All the author does is rehash what we all saw on "The E!True Hollywood Story". Describing the sketches Chris had performed verbatim, with bad grammar no less, who couldn't do that? Seems as though the author cut and pasted SNL sketches, Entertainment Tonight interveiws and magazine articles together to write this pamphlet.
If you are a true fan of Mr.Farley's, I'd advice you to wait until a deeply researched book is published.

Chris Farley
It was nice to read a story from someone who seems to actually love Chris as much as I do.There was a lot of negativity after his death in the tabloids so it was great to read something celebrating the wonderful man he was offstage and on.I love you Chris!Miss youuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Great book.
I found this to be a very interesting book. I really enjoyed reading it as i am a very big Chris Farley fan. ... Read more
