About this ebook

Last Will & Testament of Adam Carolla

I, Adam Carolla, being of beaten-down mind, declare this to be my Last Will and Testament. I revoke all wills and addendums previously made by me. (You guys never did listen, anyway.)

Article I

I appoint the rest of the world's unappreciated dads as Personal Representatives to administer this Will. I bequeath to them the right to crack a couple cold ones in the garage after working their asses off all week and ask that they be permitted to watch all the porn they like and not have to change diapers and get dragged to every preschool "graduation" and PTA meeting.

Article II

To my wife, I leave a safe-deposit box, the sole content of which is a note reading "Get a job. I'm dead," and my best wishes on trying to keep up with the unending demands of our houses, cars, dog, and kids.

Article III

I devise, bequeath, and give my kids this book, Daddy, Stop Talking. Since you guys were the death of me, I leave you these pages of wisdom. But no cash, cars, or property. You've got to earn those. On that note, I further demand that the following message be placed on the marker of my grave: "You're All on Your Own Now. Enjoy."

Ratings and reviews

I miss his radio show which used to be on a local station in town. After dropping the kids off to school I would have a couple of hours when I was able to listen to it. I did not have a radio at home, could not find it online, so I sat in my car for 2 hours to listen to his radio show. I probably looked insane to any passerby, but it was worth it. I will be reading this book soon!

Carolla wrapped a very good life message to his kids inside a very funny book, a message that will get any reader to think hard about the life they're living.

Entertaining read for teens and parents (hopefully not both simultaneously). Ends with some poignant wisdom.
