Customer Reviews

Amazing

I found this book to be amazing, because Dr. Drew and Adam know how to be honest. It's nice to read a book that isn't politically correct for a change. They really have an amazing understanding of people and really make you look at your own life and the choices you make in a whole new perspective. This book has helped me tremendously and I recommend it to anyone.

True and (therefore) politically incorrect

The book is only a shadow of the radio show, but it's still great.The "Editorial Review" by Brangien Davis, above, is embarrassing. Unless Beavis, Butthead, or Andrew Dice Clay have some hidden medical degrees, the only thing they have in common with Adam and Drew is being politically incorrect. If political correctness is your first priority, you'll hate this book. But if you want the truth, there's a lot of it here.

Common sense from two "real" guys who have heard it all...

I listen to Dr. Drew and Adam's radio show all the time. Every now and then, as they are dealing with a caller's problem, they make a point or impart some common sense that makes me think, "YES! They're exactly right. I wish EVERYBODY could have heard that last piece of advice!" The Dr. Drew and Adam Book is a comprehensive collection of all those priceless nuggets of advice that I wish EVERYBODY could hear. Therefore, I think EVERYBODY should buy this book. It's content is served up in the "Complete Idiot's Guide To..." style, so even a fourteen year old with Attention-Deficit Disorder won't be able to put it down. There's lots of interesting sidebars, input from celebrities who have been guests on their show, etc. This book is like Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus... only it's funnier, shorter, more practical, more hip, is about more than just relationships, and just better. The government should buy this book by the millions and make it required reading for all high school freshmen. Adults (especially parents) will love it, too. And it's cheap!
