As far as memoirs go, this Jon Cryer book is a home run. Cryer's command of the English language is amazing. So is his ability to tell great stories with an intelligent, articulate, comedic flair. If you expect to read about the Charlie Sheen meltdown, you've got it right here! Jon's candidness and humor come together here to provide a fun read that's almost impossible to put down. It reads smooth and is jam packed with great behind the scenes stories of his life on stage and on screen. There are hilarious anecdotes about Carol Channing (and a monkey!), Justine Bateman, Charlie Sheen, Ashton Kutcher and more. His natural geek-charm creates a background and provides a perspective that is unique and totally different from any bio I've ever read. He opens up the scars from his childhood and the rips off the bandaids from his adult booboos as well. I highly recommend this book to fans of Two and a Half Men, (and to anybody who would like to pick up tips on how to interview for acting roles!) Jon discusses the good, bad and ugliness of it all with humor, candor and forthrightness. He doesn't talk down to the reader; he invites him in, serves him tea, and regales him with hilarity and ribald anecdotes. If you read only one book on the life of a TV show star, this is the one you must read!! Huzzah!! And never forget: the Subway Improv was Jon's!Read full review
