Product Description

Fans of John Leguizamo's smash-hit one-man shows (Mambo Mouth, Spic-o-rama, Freak, and Sexaholix) have already gotten a glimpse into his life, but this book tells the whole story, carrying readers along on a wild journey from his childhood in Queens to his current home at the top of the Hollywood pyramid. An acclaimed director, producer, and play-wright, and one of the highest-paid Latin actors in the world, Leguizamo shares the stories behind his many roles—what inspired them and what transpired as he created them—while dishing on his personal relationships with his family, friends, and celebrity colleagues. Here is both an intimate self-portrait and a unique behind-the-scenes look at the magic and chaos of stardom, a keenly intelligent and insanely funny book that celebrates a remarkably talented artist's greatest achievement: growing up Latino in America and succeeding on his own terms.

5-0 out of 5 stars Wow!
John Leguizamo's autobiography is fun, sincere and well written. Didn't expect it to be such a can't-put-it-down page turner, but that's how it went. Highly recommended as casual reading or to anyone interested in show business.

5-0 out of 5 stars Hot Hot Hot!
John Leguizamo at his best, hot stuff and furiously funny. Leg's voice really comes through. It's like spending a day and night on the town dishin' with your fav comedian--nothing held back! Awesome read!

3-0 out of 5 stars Hmmmm......
While I LOVE LOVE LOVE this man, from head to toe, this book left me a little (shoulder hunch).I could forget about it. I found it interesting, funny, and John, but I felt like the title had nothing to do with the book.

4-0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining
This book is very much like John Leguizamo's show's - introspective and intersting. While I didn't think it was too hard-hitting against his fellow thespians, I enjoyed an inside perspective into the real lives of Hollywood actors. I also really enjoyed that Leguizamo shared his failures and weaknesses. It was clever, funny, and sad all at once. A true John Leguizamo experience.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great!!
I can't complain at all about this book.John Leguizamo is hilarious.I felt like I was sitting front row at one of his stand up comedies.He talks about his struggles and some 'beefs' he has with actors I certainly never knew about.I also admired the way he was completely honest about every role he played and every person he worked with. ...

Product Description

John Leguizamo's smash–hit one–man shows have been acclaimed by critics and fans alike. In this new Harper Paperback edition, all four shows are compiled into one phenomenally entertaining volume.

Mambo Mouth (1991), Leguizamo's first show, was an off Broadway sensation. Leguizamo's portrayal of seven different Latino characters earned him both Obie and Outer Critics Circle awards. His follow up, Spic–O–Rama (1993), a "dysfunctional family comedy," presents 24–hours in the life of one family. It enjoyed a sold–out run in Chicago before relocating to New York where it won its creator a Drama Desk Award. Freak (1998), Leguizamo's Broadway debut, is his own coming–of–age story. A "demi–semi–quasi–pseudo–autobiography," the show was a critical and commercial success and won an Emmy when it was shown on TV. Sexaholix: A Love Story (2001), based on the sold–out national tour of John Leguizamo Live! was nominated for an Outer Critics Circle Award as well as a Tony Award.

Alternately hilarious and poignant, always candid and searingly intelligent, The Works of John Leguizamo is a must–have for fans of this inimitable performer.

5-0 out of 5 stars so funny
i havent read this book yet. but i will. i just went to his stand up show klass klown last night in philly and he was the funniest ever. i just love leguizamo... keep it coming man.

5-0 out of 5 stars Can't say enough good things about this.
I have loved John Leguizamo's works ever since I saw Freak, more than ten years ago.Then there was Sexaholix, which surpassed Freak in all ways.At the beginning of August, I was privileged to see John perform his newest work live. It was incredible!The man has a way of transporting you and showing you the amusing nonsense which all humans employ to get by on a day to day basis.His characterizations are stunning, his insights funny and beautiful, and above all that, I've now learned that he's a humble and kind man, genuinely interested in the people who come to see him and their experiences.I was a huge fan before I met him and saw him live, and I'm an even bigger one now! ...

Freak is John Leguizamo's hilarious coming-of-age story.One of his generation's sharpest comic talents, Leguizamo returns to the Queens of his youth, where a boy's feet had to be as quick as his mouth.Freak is an adaptation of Leguizamo's autobiographical Broadway show and includes material never-before-seen-or-heard.Uncut, unstable, and oversexed, Freak is John Leguizamo at his uproarious best. ...

2-0 out of 5 stars awfully sad for a comedy
This is supposed to be a quasi-autobiographic look back at John Leguizamo's past.I know it is not to be taken literally.I know humor is born of pain.Still, I thought that this funny, funny guy let it all hang out in an odd way.I know it was greatly exaggerated, but I felt like I was the only sober one in a bar at 2:30 a.m., and there was this crying drunk hanging all over me, telling me his tale of woe. I'm not against pathos, it just struck me asa kind of strange rendition of the celebrity confessional.Still love him, though, and even bought another one of his books, which I like much better.

5-0 out of 5 stars Verbal Auto Bio on Paper
Freak was a one-man show in San Francisco and off-Broadway, then moved to
Broadway, gathering Tony nominations. In October 1998 it was an HBO special. For most performers, comedians, it would be just another stand-up concert, a type of program common to HBO. But this is Leguizamo's "Semi-Demi-Quasi-Pseudo Autobiography" and he brings to it such intensity, such a variety of personalities -- as he remembers his family and friends -- that it transcends this description and becomes like, well, a Broadway play.

John Leguizamo has had a remarkably varied career. Fans of the Spawn movie will recall his huge, even monstrous role there. His character and costume was very different in the oddly titled move To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. He probably reached one of his largest audiences early in his career in the usually pasteurized television mass market, briefly enlivened, energized and diversified by his "Latino variety show" "House of Buggin'."

This is a book based on the one man show and HBO special, edited to be
read, so it of course differs from the performances, which would include some ad lib. One might have expected to save the experience of this show with a tape, or a spoken-word recording, but this paperback is an inexpensive, permanent way to revisit and savor Leguizamo's work again and again, at your pleasure and convenience.

5-0 out of 5 stars Why is the show not out on DVD?
"Freak" is a fantastic piece of writing and an amazing performance by its writer, in his HBO one-man show. What I don't understand is why HBO wouldn't put it out on DVD. They've done it with Chris Rock's shows... If you can get your hands on a tape, watch it. It's funny and heartbreaking.

4-0 out of 5 stars Screwballs
Like Augusten Burroughs' hysterical autobiography "Running With Scissors," Leguizano's family of loose screws made him a screwball, for better or for worse.

At turns morose and gross, and gutbusting and bitingly real,you will transported by a family, though superficially unlike your own, eventually begins to resemble your childhood memories.

5-0 out of 5 stars Well....
John Said Himself That This Was Based On His Life And How He Really Exaggerated It For The Play And Then To The Book.I Have Seen Part Of The One-Man Show On HBO And I Thought It Was Really Funny.The Book ContainsSome Pretty Funny And Weird Subject Matter.I Think That The Elaberation OfThe "Characters" In The Book Were Really Funny And Had Some CoolDialoge.One Part I Thought Was Grose-Out Funny Was His Father's Way OfTrying To Get The KFC Lady To Help John Became A Man.It Is Certinaly NotFor Delicate Ears And Open For Open Minds.Hope You Like My Review...FeelFree To Look At My Others.Bye,Bye Now.....Have A Good Day ...

Excerpt: Al Williamson, (born March 21, 1931, in New York City) is an American cartoonist, comic book artist and illustrator specializing in adventure, Western and science-fiction/fantasy. He spent much of his early childhood in Bogotá, Colombia before moving back to the United States aged 12. In his youth, Williamson developed an interest in comic strips, particularly Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon. He took art classes at cartoonist Burne Hogarth's Cartoonists and Illustrators School, there befriending future cartoonists Wally Wood and Roy Krenkel, who introduced him to the work of illustrators who had influenced adventure strips. Before long, he was working professionally in the comics industry. His most notable ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1286067 ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Super Mario Bros. is a 1993 science fiction adventure film loosely based on the video game of the same name and its entire franchise. The film follows the exploits of Mario (Bob Hoskins) and his brother Luigi (John Leguizamo) in a comical dystopia ruled by King Koopa (Dennis Hopper). Super Mario Bros. was originally a critical and commercial failure upon its release in the United States. Harsh criticism was aimed at the film's darker atmosphere and its inaccuracies compared to the game's franchise. The film was also largely disliked by Hoskins, Leguizamo and Hopper themselves due to the very notorious production problems they faced and having negative opinions about the film's nature similar to critics. ...
