Happy Endings: The Tales of a Meaty-Breasted Zilch

Hilarious! The stories in this book will make you laugh and cringe all the way til the end. The self deprecating humor shines through and made me feel embarrassed for him in several moments where I found myself hysterically laughing. Excellent book, highly recommended for anyone who comes into it trying to laugh and has an open minded sense of humor.

Jim Norton shows the performance of a character from O & A with his own speciality of insults and slang. I went into the book exspecting it to have no basis other than sick jokes and perverted humor, which I did get, but it also had more substance than that. It also showed Lil' Jimmy's soft side and humanity. Which in a way, showed me that Jimmy was a great writer who could bring you into this story and at the same time, let you still be the person looking into the man. Great book and very, very, very funny. Don't read if you think anything about Fat girls or sex shows can upset you, because Jimmy does it all. Only thing left to say is, FFUUUURRRRKKKKKOOOOOUUUUSSSS!!!!!

There's no doubt that this book features page after page of Jim Norton's immense comical prowess. It is one sentence after another of obnoxious funny statement after another. His prolific comedic skill cannot be understated here. However, yes, it's true that I want a good laugh, many in fact, but I also look for both a real personal touch and perspective in such a writing. If you want non-stop laughs, you very well might love this, but if you're looking for something, anything at all more heartfelt from the man himself, I did not find it here.

"Happy Endings: The Tales of a Meaty-Breasted Zilch" delves into the deepest, darkest nooks and crannies of little Jimmy's mind. He gives insightful information regarding negotiating the balloon knot while avoiding butterscotch pudding. This is must-read material for closet pantie sniffers everywhere. This book will surely be found under mattresses around the world.Run right out and steal a copy as soon as you can. I was lucky enough to be given a copy by Jimmy's nephew Franko from MyTailerPark dot com. Jimmy had given it to Nansee as partial payment for a logging job that she did for him. Reading this will surely relieve your own log jam!This book is best read while sipping golden treats right from the faucet.

My God has landed and spoken to me on these pages.Jim Norton, much like Emperor Sigismund, has created a flowing word book that trancends art, grammar and culture into an orgasmic document of Holy proportions.I read 167 pages last night and left a note to my family: "Sell the house, sell the car, sell the kids...Forget it, I'm NEVER coming back". I got in my car and went to the Overlook Hotel and now I live here. I am waiting on my God to come see me.Come play with me Jimmy.. come play with me.. forever .. and ever.. and ever.. Delbert Grady, Lloyd and I are waiting.

This is a fun book to read for a man, but I wouldn't recommend it to a woman.The book is pretty explicit. Coarse language is used, so definitely not recommended for kids.I started reading the book but quit half way through. I did enjoy it at first, and did laugh out loud, but it just got too much at the end. I found the book too repetitious, sick at times and overly perverted. I did not like it when he talked of kids and sex. I know he is trying to be funny, but one should draw the line somewhere. There are some sick people out there who might just take him seriously. Words are mightier than the sword, so we should really be careful about what we say.I would prefer seeing the book performed in a comedy club than actually reading it. I think the jokes and stories would sound better in a club with other people participating and laughing. Sometimes you find yourself laughing at mediocre jokes or stories when you hear others laugh. After all, that's why TV programs sometimes have a live audience or recorded laughter in the background.You might also want to check out the audio version of this book, which is read by the author.

If you're a fan of Norton, you'll undoubtedly enjoy as you will roar with laughter every couple of pages. It's a quick read but welcome departure from the more proper and less 'vulgar' titles I read. As a comic, Norton certainly pushes the line with regards to what some may deem filthy or cringe-worthy yet, if taken way less seriously, his book represents a great comedian writing some of his funniest material on paper and taking it a step further. Familiar with Carlin and Lange's books? If so, grab it and enjoy (phrasing!!!).

Hysterical!! Not for the sensitive, but this book is Jim Norton at his best (and most raw). This is a comedian who is not afraid to take on the politically correct, and is NOT your typical Hollywood treehugging, Starbucks drinking....(well OK, he does drink Starbucks) idiot. While the comedy is raw, it is also relevant in today's politically correct, "try not to offend anybody," world. Mr. Norton is who he is and he makes no apologies about it. He frequents prostitutes, and does many other act that most people would consider vile. I however, think it is hilarious and makes for a great read!!

Gratest book if youre a fan....WHICH I AM!!!!

Worth every penny. Had to get his 2nd book after reading this. I've listened to Jim Norton on the Opie & Anthony Show for years. This novel gives a twisted, introspective look at Norton beyond what we hear on the show or in his comedy specials.If you're even reading this, you know who he is. Just buy the book

the positive thing is you can tell this wasn;'t written by a ghost writer

Bbbbbbbbbaaaaaddddd.
