Review:
"He unloads so much material that you can practically flip to any page and find an achingly funny anecdote. . . . We can only hope Blount will go on forever. People
"A wild tell-all, a raucous, unflinching memoir as funny as anything he's ever written, and that's saying a lot." The New York Times Book Review
"If Sophocles had married Dorothy Parker, I'm not certain what their child might have looked like, but he should have sounded something like Roy Blount Jr., with one-liners linked to a tragic vision. The Boston Sunday Globe
"I haven't laughed out loud so much while reading such a sad book since Portnoy's Complaint, which Be Sweet resembles." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"One of America's wittiest writers." The New York Times Book Review
