Customer Reviews

Springer... the most controversial talk show host and author

Jerry! Jerry!The crowd chants wildly. However, one must look past this seemingly low-class, degrading form of entertainment. I found this work quite refreshing. As a scholar, I do not get the chance to fully appreciate the world around me. For this reason, I miss out on meeting many of my fellow men and women. I have lost touch with the average joe and I find this quite disheartening.However, Mr. Springer has given me the chance to connect with millions of Americans. These people real and their stories are not made up. Springer vividly portrays the joys, sorrows, and anguish that these brave men and women are facing. Perhaps the most touching was the story of the 400 pound man that left his wife for a 3 foot tall transvestite. I really feel that reading this book helps me appreciate the needs of others. I am forced to realize that all around me, people are suffering. I am spurred on to be a better person because of Mr. Springer and his friends.I too can chant "Jerry! Jerry!" with pride. Thank you Jerry.

Good idea Jerry!

This book was excellent at giving me some insite into Jerry Springer. There is no mega ego in the writing of it, nor any kind of attitude. He wrote it himself on a whim. It does give you an uncensored look into Jerry Springer, & show. It does not have nude photos, nor is it erotic reading. If that is what you are looking for, look elsewhere. This book, if it does nothing else, will enlighten you to the exploits of our daily news (everywhere). It might even refresh your views on what America is really about.

One of those corny, but hilarious movies.

I saw this movie in the theater, and I'll admit...it was corny. It was one of those stupid corny movies that makes you laugh the whole way through. :)

Personally Jerry: one adore-able book!

I love Jerry Springer's 'Ringmaster' book; this book is about the Jerry show and yet more exclusively about Jerry himself; and especially about his past - pictures of his family, himself as a child..facts and memories on his childhood, family and 'his years' up to now. Jerry becomes pretty personal in his 'Ringmaster' book, and his honesty is as clear as ever. For anyone who is a Springer fan-this is a god-send. For anyone who isnt a Springer fan..why not..the read is just as good.
