    About this audiobook

    At a high point in his career, Artie Lange performed a sold-out show in Carnegie Hall-and he did it with a pocketful of heroin. In the midst of a deep, self-destructive depression, addicted to heroin, cocaine, and prescription drugs, he lashed out at everyone around him-from his cohosts on The Howard Stern Show to celebrity guests and even his longtime friends. Then came his legendary meltdown on-air, with 6 million people listening, after which Lange pulled himself together enough to go to a buddy's bachelor party in Amsterdam. He never made the party, but instead used the trip as an opportunity to hole up in his hotel room with a prostitute and do drugs.

    By turns dark and harrowing, hilarious and poignant, and always drop-dead honest, Crash and Burn is a blow-by-blow account of Lange's years of addiction, a suicide attempt (which he relates in terrifying detail), hitting rock bottom, stints in rehab, and painful relapses. With the help and support of friends and family, Lange manages to recover and get his life and career back on track. And despite his slip-ups, backslides, and permanent losses, Artie Lange forges on.

    From drugs to sports to falling in love, Lange tells all in Crash and Burn, the story of his life that is as shocking as it is funny, ever tempered by his characteristic humor, self-awareness, and inimitable way with words.

      A sad tale of drug use and its consequences. I don't know what to think after reading this book. Lange knows he is a fuck up and will fuck up the best things in his life,tv shows, relationships, and supposedly his dream gig. Yet he does nothing to figure out how to stop till it is too late. He has what many people do not have money and fame and still pisses it all away. It is sad to see the things that Lange pissed away. Supposedly it was what he claims was dear to him, yet he consistently screws it up.

      If you are a fan of Artie Lange, you probably would like this book. I saw him on a talk show and found him very funny and interesting. I realized his life was no bed of roses, but expected a bit more humor. It got a bit boring at times, hearing about the unbelievable amounts of heroin and pills, he ingested. A smaller man would not have survived. It is even amazing that he did. Hopefully someone will read the book and it will save their life. Artie has come through hell, hopefully he will continue to conquer his demons.
