Rent: Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid

By Dr. Denis Leary

Overview & Description

The New York Times bestseller

One of America's most original and biting comic satirists, Denis Leary takes on all the poseurs, politicians, and pop culture icons who have sucked in public for far too long. Sparing no one, Leary zeroes in on the ridiculous wherever he finds it-his Irish Catholic upbringing, the folly of celebrity, the pressures of family life, and the great hypocrisy of politics-with the same bright, savage, and profane insight he brought to his critically acclaimed one-man shows No Cure for Cancer

Joseph G. writes,

Denis Leary really doesn't have much to say since the man who actually wrote his comedy for him (Bill Hicks) passed away. This book is an example of his running over the same old tired ground and not nearly as effective as before.
