Book Reviews of Letters from a Nut
Book Review: CLASSIC!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a classic comedy book. It has proven the test of time. It is a book all audiences can appreciate. All ages can enjoy. Mr. Nancy is an extremely nice person to the people he corresponds with. He writes letters that are not mean, not put downs. His writing style is what makes this book unique. The parenthesis filled with little secrets he is letting the reader in on. The random blurts of nonsense that have nothing to do with his requests. I have never seen a writing style like this. I can see why Jerry Seinfeld endorses this book.Book Review: Comedy Fever
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this book! My teacher read my class this book. It's all about the author (Ned L Nancy) writing stupid letters to hotels, casinos, fancy places etc. He wrote to one hotel saying he was a midget who needed special room furniture. He also wrote to the lost in found building saying he lost a tooth and wanted it back. He also wrote a letter to the Ritz saying he had a bedwetting problem! If you like comedy I would definitely recommend this book!Book Review: Dead copy of Don Novello's (Father Guido Sarducci) books
Summary: 3 Stars
A series of books of this type was done first (and better) by Don Novello (Father Guido Sarducci of Saturday Night Live fame) who used alter ego Lazlo Toth - a rather strenuous and hilariously conservative American Patriot - to lampoon people like Lee Iacocca and other well known figures using letters which are just over the line of rational thought. The responses he received back (sometimes form letters which could play perfectly into the joke and sometimes personal letters) are displayed on the opposing page. If Mr. Novello hadn't died several years ago I would imagine he was behind this. Amazon has these books - I would suggest this one as a start:The Lazlo Letters: The Amazing, Real-Life, Actual Correspondence of Lazlo Toth, American!
by Don Novello (Paperback - May 1992)

If you do not find this book funny, you have no sense of humor!! It's a really fast read that you will want to share with all your friends. What a great concept to write crazy letters to compainies and see what the response will be. BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
