tell all

I had a great experience with this seller. My merchandise arrived earlier than expected and in excellent condition. I would definitely transact business with this seller again.

I looove Tracy Morgan!

I was a total fan from the moment I saw Tracy Morgan on 'Martin' & my love continued as he was on SNL. Tracy Morgan's comedy doesn't usually transcend on an audience like me seeing as I am a small, early 20's, white, middle class woman. BUT IT ACTUALLY DOES! If you love Tracy, read this. If you have no idea who he is, you won't understand his humor or where he is coming from. I loved it & not only did I laugh...alot...it got really serious & you got to see a softer side to Tracy & you thought "Ok so he isn't really crazy." LOL!

Pits, Pinnacle, Proud...

Tracy Morgan's I Am The New Black (with Anthony Bozza) is excellent! I have always been a Tracy Morgan fan, but if you are not...this book more than likely will give you a whole newfound respect and appreciation for the man. This book tells his story and it seems with no reigns. I laughed, I tea red up and at the end I was just proud of him and if he were here...give him a holy hug. He shares some very personal information about his childhood which was not all roses. The divorce of his parents, custody battles, his rift with his beloved mother, his father's drug abuse and eventual death from AIDS (shared needles), his rise and fall in school, his marriage to Sabina, his children, his time of the streets in the hood, his gift of comedy, his rise into stardom, his medical condition that almost cost him his life, his divorce, his rehabilitation (mentally, physically and spiritually), his new love, his maturity and his wisdom and understanding...he tells it all in a very endearing way. He also pays homage and respect to those in the industry that have helped him along the way. It was nice to see that he has not forgotten where he came from and knows that God is real. He says, "He got memo on maturity four years ago." Also, he feels that he is the exception, not the rule because he feels that guaranteed success comes from education and hard work. I must say that this was one of the best autobiographical books I have read recently. I felt like he was talking to me and me alone in his trademark manner. It was a nice reading journey that unfolded with Tracy coming into manhood after living out loud for too long. Oh and I would be remiss if I did not mention that Wendy Williams' name appeared on page 146 (gotta love it). Congrats to Tracy Morgan on all of his well deserved success and a great book. You will enjoy this book. I am calling it the 3P Book (Pits, Pinnacle, and Proud).

Honest, surprisingly inspirational and very entertaining

Really enjoyed this very easy to read book about Mr. Morgan and his career, especially the details regarding how each SNL is made. Very inspirational for any artist coming from a tough situation, and his story gives you motivation to make your dreams come true. I hope more people read this and grab opportunity by the balls. Way to preach it Tracy!! Keep on rockin' & good luck with the new movie!!!

Good life story.

Good quick read. I like this guy because I think he cares about making a difference. He uses humor to get some real stuff said.
