Summary: 4 Stars
After having read a few Toni Morrisson books (not exactly rib-ticklers) I found myself in need of some light-heartedness. The cover of Pure Divel caught my eye and I picked it up...then I put it down. $20! For such a little book? (Thank the WWW gods for Amazon.com) Determined to laugh I bought the book and happily was not dissapointed. Although one or two essays didn't rise to the level of the rest of the work, overall, I was more than impressed. Two of the stories in particular had me laughing outloud at work (please don't tell my boss I was reading on the job...). "Mars Probe Finds Kittens" was smart, original, and (for me, anyway) hysterically visual. And having grown up next to a couple who had Mensa parties, and being witness to their bizarre game of intellectual King of the Hill "How I Joined Mensa" struck me as sarcstically witty as it was true. So, worth the $20? You bet. Now I can pass that $20 rectangle of humor on to one of my friends knowing that they will enjoy it as much as I did.Book Review: The funniest part of this book is the author's name.

Drivel, like belly gas, should be emitted (and inhaled) sparingly. Readers not yet Martin-addicted might be well advised to limit themselves to one chapter per week to avoid overdosing.Book Review: STEVE MARTIN IS L.A.'S WOODY ALLEN

What a disappointment. I think Steve Martin is one of the funniest people alive and this was a ridiculous waste of money and time.
