Editorial Review:
Nothing is too outrageous for Damon Wayans. Whether he's talking about family, celebrities, racism, relationships, politics, or sex, he takes no prisoners. And in Bootleg, Damon brings it all on, uncut and uncensored. Filled with laughs, craziness, and lots of truth, Bootleg will leave you hurting for more!
Celebrities: When I found out that Steven Spielberg has two black kids, I was amazed. Where did he get these kids from? Were they props left over from The Color Purple?
Black Leaders: I must have been asleep the day they elected Al Sharpton as the black representative. He is the only leader in history to show up to a rally wearing a tight red velour sweat suit with a roller in the front of his hair.
Religion: Thanks to preachers, a lot of people have given up on religion completely. Today, going to church is like going to Vegas. You'll leave thinking, "Man, I lost $75.00 up in this motha."
Bootleg Reviews:
Bootleg is the funniest book I have ever read 
2005-01-20 - It's funny, Its been a long time since I read bootleg, but it still gives me the chuckles. Damon Wayans is a comic genius, I only wish he could get back into the limelight again with movies or comedy specials. For anybody who writes him off as just another black comedian, you have to read this book!!!! Well worth the price I paid.
A Fast, Funny Read 
2002-10-11 - Continuing the trend of stand-up comedians putting their act on the printed page, Bootleg offers small snippets of Damon Wayans' wit and wisdom on a variety of topics, including, but not limited to, race, marriage, kids, sex, pets, and growing up "Po". I especially enjoyed the stories about his famous siblings when they were all kids. The book is VERY slim, and most pages are only 1/2 to 3/4 filled, so it's a REALLY quick read, but as Damon points out in the book, if it makes me laugh, it's ok. I laughed a LOT, so it was worth the price. Lots of fun!
Some of the best comedy in years
2000-12-10 - Damon has came a long way since In Living Color and it shows. This book of standup material is a riot. Strange though that his brother gets into Scary Movie but I digress. If you like humor it's all good.
This is a funny book
2000-03-20 - Ok, first of all, I am white. And Damon makes a lot of jokes about being black and also being white. He picks on both races. And both are funny. He says that all white guys use the word "dude." Well, I think he's right! Bascially, this book is really funny. It's not all race jokes, though. He makes jokes about women, and children. I haven't seen any of his stand-up specials, so maybe that's why I thought this was so funny. If you like to laugh, then this is a good book to read.
Damon's First, and Hopefully not last
2000-01-08 - Damon's book, Bootleg is funny. To really enjoy it is to have missed a lot of his stand-up act's on cable and what not. I gave it four stars because it was funny, but a lot of his old stand-up material was in it. Now if a lot of new material was in it, then, I would have given it 5 stars,..like Drew Carey's Dirty Jokes & Beer. It's a riot for those who can identify with being Black back in the 60's and 70's. I would definatley read another book from Wayans if he were to make a sophmore attempt,..I don't doubt that it would be any less comical.
