What a bully surprise!!!

I checked out the audio book from our library thinking
this was going to be a 'ha-ha' 'that'south funny' book.

Instead I listened to a center-felt, loving, questioning,
retention-filled dialogue read past Louie himself.

I listened as a female parent who has also lost a mother.
So many feelings on and so many levels.
A read/listen I can recommend to everyone.

I had never heard of his serial, Christine Baskets, so much of this book was lost on me. It was autobiographical, which I enjoyed, simply didn't really care for the format of letters to his Mom. Though It was quite axiomatic he loved her dearly, and his father was extremely calumniating. I'm glad I borrowed this 1 from the library.

On the terminal disc which is probably the last chapter in the print book he talks about the twenty-four hour period his female parent died. That was difficult to listen to. You lot definitely never get over the death of your mom and it is similar a piece of yous is gone, been through information technology and knew exactly what he was talking about. Ok it wasn't all depressing, Louie did tell some funny jokes throughout the volume. I like when he talked about being on Johnny Carson and being i of the first invited to Joan Rivers show. I have never seen the show Baskets where he plays a mom and got inspiration for the function from his own mom merely I volition kickoff watching soon. Definitely don't read or heed to this if you're feeling down.

In 2016, comedian Louie Anderson won an Emmy for playing mother Christine Baskets in the FX series, Baskets. In his acting for Christine, he played the part equally his mother, Ora Zella Anderson, would accept.

In his letters, he is brutally honest with regrets, lessons learned, and how to be a better person.

Most importantly, Louie has a message for all of us: "Everyone should tell the people they dearest that they dear them, at all times, because you never know." Simple advice, but one that many of u.s. neglect to practice. I highly recommend this book, only first, tell your family you love them. That would make Louie happy. – Sara H.

Funny. Poignant. Heartfelt. Deplorable. Entertaining. I enjoyed him talking to his mom (who has passed away) and remembering childhood, adulthood and telling her about life afterwards she passed. Very touching and fun to listen to. It was easy to relate to him talking to his mother. Asking her questions he should have asked when she was alive and telling her funny tales from the present. Honoring her and chastising her. This is merely what we exercise when our mothers pass.

I did not finish around page 65. Reading him continually talk well-nigh his mother became slow, depressing and made me recall of when my mother passes and how much I will miss her. I don't want to think of that.

However, give the book a chance, you may find it inspiring, or touching. I could just exist going through a Grinch phase.

I was expecting a funny memoir about Louie and his female parent, only what I found instead is a touching collection of letters where Louie ponders on his family life. He thinks most things he wishes he would have washed differently or questions he could have asked while his female parent was still alive. He had a hard childhood as one of 11 children with an alcoholic and verbally abusive father. He and his mother both found solace through nutrient. He channels his mothers' persona for his latest television receiver role.

I'll acknowledge that I know of Louie Anderson, merely I haven't watched almost of the programs he's been on. I item I didn't similar about the book is that it was written while he was filming and receiving awards for his new testify, Baskets. I haven't seen this show and while this audiobook made me want to lookout man it, it also felt sometimes similar a giant advertisement for Baskets.

I really enjoyed this book and was really touched by the honest thoughts that Anderson had about his family. It was relatable – families are complicated. I liked that Louie Anderson narrated the audiobook. It was perfect.

Favorite Quotes:
"Sadly, no i in our family e'er said, "I dear you." Do you realize that? The truth is, I think we were all frightened of maxim it, since the obvious reply would've been. "Well, if this is dearest, what is hate similar?"

Overall, Hey Mom was a touching look at complicated family life filled with Louie Anderson's trademark humor.

Inhabiting his mother in the tragic-comedy "Baskets, Louie Anderson channels his guiding light, the St. Paul flagman who raised 11 kids and faithful stalwart in his youth. Though having passed some years agone, Louie gives her a "second life" on the testify, in his stand ups, and his nightly journals. He opens up about his journey of healing and mission to help families reconcile.

If the plaintive and shattering "Dear Dad 30 years agone, was a storm deject with a silverish lining, then "Hey Mom" is a meditative sturdy recline on a embankment with a scattering of ominious clouds ahead. Despite the career setbacks, addiction to food, and lost of close family members like his blood brother Tommy, there is a remarkable optimism with Louie. His cornball humor has always been a shield...for attending and affection, but here it feels more like a safety valve to raise sensation near the people who are living the lives Louie avoided. Topics like homelessness, overeating, drug abuse, and parental fail are given attention with the arresting empathy of someone with overwhelming heart.

The victories have been well earned. A renewed love of veggies (fifty-fifty "steamed broccoli!!"), friends in their 20s and 30s, and fifty-fifty got an Emmy. An attending to mindful living, joyful living and appreciation.

**Spoilers**
In a moving ending he writes:

"When your mom dies, y'all realize that you lot likewise will ane 24-hour interval will die, it finally actually hits home.Only you eventually realize something else, you're still hither. Then when things come up crashing down around you lot, you tin can rise up, you tin can make something happen, something good.

In 2015, Louie Anderson was hired to play Zach Galifianakis's mother, Christine Baskets, on the FX comedy series "Baskets." Since he felt that he was channeling his female parent to portray the character, he started writing messages to his mom (who died in 1990) to update her on his life and career, enquire her questions and try to sort out his babyhood. Anderson was the 10th child (of xi kids) in a poor family dominated by a violent and abusive alcoholic father.

Since he felt that he was channeling his female parent to portray the character, he started writing messages to his mom (who died in 1990) to update her on his life and career, ask her questions and try to sort out his childhood. Anderson was the 10th child (of 11 kids) in a poor family dominated by a tearing and abusive alcoholic father.

Over the three years he penned these messages, Anderson won an Emmy award for his performance on the serial, sorted through troubling family history, grieved the sudden expiry of his younger brother, and tried to strengthen the ties with his remaining siblings and family. Anderson has fabricated a career out of poking fun at his dysfunctional family and food addiction, so there are some laughs throughout. (Anderson one time dreamt he'd died and was embalmed with butter. "People were walking by me, paying their respects and saying, 'God, he smells skillful.' ") Just the comedian primarily delves deeper to reveal painful family unit secrets, forgive the past and adjourn his subversive behaviors by joining Adult Children of Alcoholics and entering therapy. Anderson as well looks back on his four-decade career, celebrating successes (his blithe "Life with Louie" Goggle box series), acknowledging his failures (losing his job hosting "Family Feud") and affectionate his career resurgence.

HEY MOM is an articulate, insightful and openly emotional serial of letters that will resonate with those recovering from traumatic childhoods and with fans of Anderson's 1989 book, Dearest DAD.

Louie Anderson remembers his traumatic childhood and xl-year career through articulate and emotionally raw letters penned to his late mother.

Yes, Anderson has good reason to exist close to his mother afterwards a childhood dominated past a raging alcoholic male parent which is a frequent topic of the letters. But the reminders of but how much time has passed since her departure pop frequently as i of the running gags involves Louie trying to explain modern social media and other engineering science to someone who died just equally CD's were becoming a affair. He references to Ora Anderson as his "first lady" too don't help.

The other major annoyance comes from Anderson's overly frequent mentions of the current television show he worked on. Oft these brusque snippets feel little like cypher more than an ad for readers to tune in. However, these capacity practise provide a petty more amusement compared to others which encompass absolute mundanity such as looking at the moon.

Across the excessively short and pointless capacity at times, the other major complaint about Anderson uber-folksy, self-involved, self-referencing text is that information technology isn't very funny. Possibly that wasn't the intent merely comedians need to be self-aware enough to sympathize readers are expecting them to yuck it upwards and to get-go with a disclaimer if laughs aren't in the offing. Understood, ultimately the volume centers effectually his mother's death and his lack of coming to terms with it but other chapters could have had a few jokes.

In short, only not enough in that location there.
