Delightful. A great, fun read (Sir David Jason)
Laugh-out-loud hilarious and always fascinating, from the great Mel Brooks. What else do you expect from the man who knew Jesus and dated Joan of Arc? (Billy Crystal)
This book has everything you would ever want Mel Brooks to tell you, and at 462 pages it is still not enough! Pure joy. (Judd Apatow)
Mel Brooks is Mount Hilarious. All any of us can do is look up and feel small and not as funny in comparison. (Marc Maron)
There are people who have great stories and there are people that tell great stories. Mel is that precious combination of a person with amazing stories who happens to be one of the greatest storytellers of all time. Lucky for him? Lucky for us! (Sarah Silverman)
If you are holding the great Mel Brooks's memoir and you are wasting time reading this blurb, you're an idiot. (Conan O'Brien)
This marvelous book by the great man himself will give you a mega-dose of sheer reading pleasure. It's the personal, delightfully revealing life story of a giant comic talent. All About Me! delivers a much-needed, therapeutic supply of full-out laughter. (Dick Cavett)
All About Me! isn't a typical comedy memoir, and why would it be? Mel is a singular talent, still witty, still sharp and still zinging us after all these years. These stories thread a hilarious narrative that is also profound and touching. Reading this you'll learn very quickly why Mel Brooks is a king of comedy. (Wanda Sykes)
Mel Brooks has made three of the best comedies ever made. Read all about it (John Cleese)
Studded with snickering asides and rapid-fire jokes, Brooks's account of making it in show biz is just as sidesplitting as his movies.

I can't put enough praise on this. Not only was Mel's showbiz life incredible to hear about, but he narrates it in such a way that it's like watching one of his movies. I could have listened for another 15 hours and not get bored, and I almost wanted to applaud when he signed off. So he spends a lot of time dropping names that most people won't have heard of, big deal - he's had a lot of help and influence along his journey so it's fair he acknowledges them all.

Superb. Mel Brooks is a living legend. Young Frankenstein is one of my all time favourite films and Blazing Saddles and High Anxiety are close 2nds. He's lived one hell of a life and at 95 show no signs of slowing down. I hope I'm so lucky!

The legend.

Mel Brookes has done it all and bought so much laughter into the world for over 80 years. He finishes by telling us how comedy shines a light on our humanity, but by making a choice to keep his private life mostly out of this book, I think he misses an opportunity to let the reader in. We still get an amazing and funny account of his professional life. But then, he is a genius!

What a Goy!
