Not Taco Bell Material (Abridged) Audiobook

" Loved this book. I'm a big fan of Adam Carolla's humor and this couples that with an inspiring tale of how he found success the old-fashioned way - through hard work and determination. Highly recommended and hilarious. "

" A funny book, but some of the authors views I didn't agree with "Such as Women are not Funny" If you can get over that then it a good book and a very fast read. I also thought How the author broke the chapters up was very creative. I will for sure read other books from this author. "

" This book was narrated by the author himself, so it was embellished and edited liberally. Sometimes I felt like I was listening to an extra long podcast. But, his stories of his early life and how he managed to go from a low-income blue collar existence to the success he is now is uplifting. "

" Pretty funny but not as good as his first book. I liked the stories about his family and career, but the ones about his friends were just too gross. "

" Don't think I've laughed this hard in a long time. "

" Fun, quick, very raunchy read. "

" Rude, crude, and socially unacceptable. I still laughed. Not as much as one might hope, because this dude's family was seriously f-ed up. But he seems to have come out of it with a message. "

" No matter how bad your childhood was this is likely to make you feel better about yours! Good stories but a lot of bathroom humor as you might suspect. "

" Not as good as the first book he wrote but still plenty funny to read "

" Baudy and irreverent, but funny. "

" Very funny!! More than just Carolla's typical barage of rants. Extremely unique how he ties his upbringing to various homes he has lived in. Only a little is duplicated from his last book. "

" funny book, smart guy, hard worker. adam carolla had a crappy california childhood but he always had family around even though they were dysfunctional. book had a few too many gross-out friend stories but as he says it was before the youtube era so they had to amuse themselves somehow... "

" It ain't Shakespeare, but it served well on a sick, miserable Sunday afternoon . . . and now to find something for a sick, miserable Monday afternoon. "

" One star is generous. I'm not sure why I got this book, as I cannot stand Adam Carolla's sexist humor, but I guess I was hopeful that he would elevate himself a little bit since this is the written form. Nope. Despite the sexist attitude, the book itself is poorly written. Don't waste your time. "

" Adam is simply great. His lack of concern for what he's allowed to think or say permits him to discuss how to not be a loser in life and to critique the pathetic state of Southern California and American pop culture. I aspire to live half as well as he has...although rather less crudely. "

" Weird stories, but he tied them together better than I expected in the end. "

" Funny stories. Some pretty gross stuff. Nice message at the end. "

" The beginning of each chapter starts with a picture of a house that Adam lived in which is a great idea. There were some funny stories. A good book to skim through. "

" This is such a hilarious audiobook. Carolla is uproariously funny as he usually is plus he offers some insights into his life that I found very interesting as well as inspiring. Highly recommended. "

" Some of Carolla's previous book "In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks" is repeated here but "Not Taco Bell Material" is so entertaining that I can forgive him for a bit of rehashing. This is a really funny and insightful listen! "

" An intriguing audiobook that offers some background into this groundbreaking comedian's life as well as plenty of laughs. A little slow here and there during the autobiographical stuff but very entertaining overall nonetheless. "

" I really wanted to like this audiobook as I'm a big Adam Carolla fan but I honestly found it to be kind of boring. There were way too many rambling stories from his past and not enough humor for my taste. "

" In my opinion Adam is a brilliant comedian and his profane rants against the rampant political correctness so prevalent in today's society are a breath of fresh air. I listened to this on a recent trip and laughed my butt off. "

" This book made me laugh out loud. "

" If you don't already listen to and like Adam carolla the chances you will like this book are very slim indeed. It's a bunch of crazy anecdotes as an Adam carolla recipe. I am mildly embarrassed to say I laughed out loud at the butt geyser story. "

" Adam has a way of looking at things that I really identify with. This is a pretty good audiobook with a fair amount of humor mixed with personal stories from his past that help you understand where he came from and what he overcame to get to where he was going. It's a bit slow in places but I recommend it for the overall experience. "

" Great read! I love his humor and this book didn't disappoint. He's painfully honest and doesn't hold any punches. I laughed out loud so many times! "
