"His folksy humor...has made him a hit in the heartland...Don't
bet a little plain ol' charm won't work just as well on the rest of
the country."--"Philadelphia"" Inquirer"
For the record, here's the official definition of a guy: A
person who doesn't think before he speaks. He can't. He's not that
deep. Because a guy has only three basic needs: eating, sleeping,
and sex. That's it. "Just a Guy" chronicles a "lifetime" in pursuit
of those needs.
In this hilarious and heartfelt memoir, Bill Engvall takes you
on the rollicking ride of his life, beginning with his childhood in
Texas and adolescence in Arizona, becoming a fixture in local
emergency rooms, the result of massive amounts of non-thinking
behavior trying to impress girls or torture his sisters; to high
school in Dallas where he dabbled in an array of truly odd jobs and
came of age; to college and his tenure as his fraternity's social
chairman, where he masterminded a series of legendary parties; to
following his dream as a standup comic and, gulp, singer; to his
bumbling and riotous courtship, then marriage to Gail, the love of
his life; and, finally, fatherhood, where he remains, to this day,
a well-meaning, but flawed parent.
Through it all, Bill gamely stumbles along, struggling to
maintain a facade of confidence and control. Far from a superhero,
Bill Engvall is an everyday Everyman, the poster boy for normal.
The result is just a guy who is disarming, perceptive, wildly
funny, and unexpectedly moving.
"The sensitive parts of the book...truly stand
out."--"Publishers Weekly"
"Bottom line: if you like Blue Collar TV or are just looking for
some good comedy, this is a great book to pick
up."--"Blogcritics.org"
