About this ebook

If you turn on the evening news or listen to NPR you’ll be bombarded with a non-stop parade of commentators pontificating on the ever expanding gap between the rich and the poor.  But is the chasm really that wide?  In Rich Man Poor Man, comedian and bestselling author Adam Carolla exposes the phenomena that are embraced by the really rich and the really poor--but never the middle class--like having an outdoor shower, wearing your pajamas all day, or always having your dog with you. Combining Adam's inimitable comedic voice and four-color illustrations by his friend Michael Narren, Rich Man Poor Man is a hilariously accurate look at what the people born with silver spoons in their mouths have in common with the people whose only utensils are plastic sporks stolen from a Shakey's.

Ratings and reviews

When this book was released it only came out on iTunes with no Google Play release in sight. So I decided to check on it recently and to my surprise, there it was. Great read, albeit short. As Ace would say "its great for what it is". Meaning its not the next Da Vinci Code, but it is a great short illustrated comedy book. If you are a fan of Ace, do yourself a favor and get this book. Mahalo!
