Just a Guy: Notes from a Blue Collar Life Audiobook

" I'm trying to think of a comic that I like better than Bill Engvall and I can't think of one. He's funny without cussing or being dirty like so many others. I picked this book up at the dollar store and loved it. I read almost the entire book in one sitting. It made me laugh out loud many times and made me tear up a couple of times too. But what it did more than those two things was make me like Bill Engvall even more than I already did. He's a guy...a great, funny, family guy. I recommend this book to all of his fans. "

" Bill Engvall is funny, however this book is only slightly funny, again another interesting look into one of my favourite comedians. "

" I listened to the audio book, read by Engvall himself. I think it makes a biography more interesting when read by the person himself, as it seems like they are just talking to you. This book tells how much Engvall is just a regular guy, who had a normal childhood. I wished it had discussed how he got involved with Jeff Foxworthy and the Blue Collar Comedy group. Otherwise, the book was entertaining, touching, and humorouse without being filled with jokes. "

" We listened to this traveling to and from NC. Some funny stuff, but also some interesting insight into Bill's childhood and personal life. "

" Great book for guys. I've learned a lot about my favorite commedian. He drank a lot as a college man; it's also ironically how his comedy got off the ground. "

" Positive, upbeat, hilarious! Loved this story! "

" Made me laugh. Made even better when read by Bill. "

" I guess I was expecting more jokes in the biography of a comedian. But still more entertaining than most autobiographies. "

" I've always liked funny guys. This one was great! I laughed out loud - it was so funny! And other times very touching. "

" I think Bill is an amazing comic and the stories in his book were touching. I think I went into this book thinking it would be like his standup. It is more heart to heart than that. "

" Very funny and sweet :) "

" I've always admired Bill as a comedian and after reading this book the admiration has grown. I am very interested in the events that steer people in a certain direction and shape their adult lives. "

" Listened to this book on a looong family car trip. Thought we'd enjoy it since we enjoyed laughing at his Blue Collar comedy bits. We enjoyed getting to know his life story and the twists and turns we all face. "

" I loved this book. I read it in Books-A-Million and kept laughing out loud.Loudly.Highly suggested to anyone who enjoys southern humor. "

" Bill Engvall's life -- sometimes funny, sometimes serious -- well written and made me laugh right out loud. "

" Just plain fun. A fast, easy read that gives you a little background on a very normal life of a very famous person. "

" ok really i listened to it on CD from Cracker Barrel on the way to Illinois =) "

" A very enjoyable book to read. Funny and heartfelt - seemingly a really nice guy. "

" An interesting and hilarious autobiography from one of America's premier comedians. "

" I was expecting an extension of his blue collar comedy. It's not. To be fair I only listened to 1 disc. The title says it all, just a guy. Not much substance. The most disappointing aspect was the narration. It is read by the author and it was painful. "

" A fun and sometimes funny look at Bill Engvall's life as he learned to be a comedian. A quick, easy read to lighten up a day (or night in my case, read it in one sitting). "

" A really fast read and what a joy! I just love Bill Engvall and his first ever book is wonderful! It is funny, warm and heartwarming and tells his story in true Bill Engvall fashion. He has the most endearing qualities and they really shine through in his book. I would recommend this book to anyone. "

" Not as funny as one would hope for/expect from Bill, but somewhat interesting nonetheless. "

" Bill Engvall is by far my favorite of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour guys. His book is a lot like his comedy routines on HBO--funny, mostly clean and something you can picture in your head. It was kinda neat getting a look at his life and how it shaped him into who he is today. "

" I listened to Just a Guy while sitting in the airport, waiting and waiting. Pretty good humor. I think Engvall is smarter than he lets on. "

" Bill Engvall is literally just a guy. Someone I would expect to meet at the local diner. Love him! His memoir was very entertaining. "

" Very cool guy and a crazy story on how he made it big. Not to mention pretty damn funny. "

" Fun book to listen to in the car. "

" Actually got the audio version of this book and it's read by Bill Engvall himself. <br/>LOVED IT!! When it was over, I wanted more! "

" Very funny book, it had me laughing out loud. There were some parts that made me a little teary eyed, but overall just a good book. The chapters were pretty short, so if your in the mood for light reading this is the book to read. "

" I enjoyed hearing this book read by him. It sounded like an old friend telling you about his life. My only complaint is the abrupt ending. I would've liked to hear more about his life after he came into show biz. Hopefully that book will be coming later. "

" Bill Engvall is funny, however this book is only slightly funny, again another interesting look into one of my favourite comedians. "

" Very funny, howlingly funny, in spots, touching in others. Didn't know about his parents' problems, nor nearly losing his wife. If you like his comedy, you will enjoy his biography. "
