This followup book to Rickles' Book got trashed but it's pretty good in my opinion. It gives his style of comedy (one liners) in actual form on letters that he never wrote. You can read this in a day easily. Rickles is really funny and was in his heyday during the Rat Pack years. He was the voice of Mr. Potato Head in all the Toy Story films.
Rickles is a Queens born Jew but joked that after Sinatra told him to put money into the collection plate at a Palm Springs Catholic church, Rickles was now a Catholic for the low price of $50. Rickles' style is a three part set of personal comments. First a general compliment to a man or woman (usually a man), then a put down of one of the person's foibles based on an exaggerated misunderstanding and lastly a plea for financial assistance from the person just put down or a request to never bother him again. Rickles served in the US Navy during WWII.
Obama should have given him a Presidential Award, but oh well. Rickles' first book is excellent if you can follow the old Hollywood showbiz references. ( )
