"Klein has always been the funniest, most intelligent, coolest comedian. If he would also like to be known as an amorous busboy, who am I to stand in the way?"

-- Jerry Seinfeld

"The book is moving and funny...Klein is a born storyteller."

-- New York Post

"A warm and delightful Portrait of the Artist as a Young Comedian from the Bronx. Robert Klein writes with his signature intelligence, wit, and irreverence. This is a hilarious book, and surely Robert Klein is the Don Juan of Decatur Avenue."

-- Wendy Wasserstein

"Uproarious."

-- Publishers Weekly

"A fascinating, warm, and, of course, humorous account of Robert Klein's early years. I had no idea that he was such a sex addict!"

-- Joan Rivers
