Book Reviews of Pure Drivel
Book Review: This book is very funny.
Summary: 4 Stars
Steve Martin proves that he is one of the funniest men on the planet. He combines intelligence, dry wit, and pure comic genius. The chapter entitled 'Side Effects' was so hysterical, my sides were in pain form laughing so hard. This book is a must for anyone who is a Martin fan. A keeper!!Book Review: PURE DRIVEL? IT MUST BE A DISCLAIMER
Summary: 2 Stars
I went out and gave Steve Martin twenty bucks because I appreciated all the laughs the silly son of a motherless goat has given me over the past twenty years or so. But this book straight sucks a big one. I can't remember even cracking a smile during the hour and a half it took me to peruse this Woody Allen wannabe waste of a tree. Tell you what: give the video guy three bucks, get Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and spend that hour and a half actually being entertained.Book Review: Funny But Seriously Tiny
Summary: 3 Stars
Some pieces are fantastically funny, some pieces less so. However at the end you are left feeling as though this is one book where quantity would count for a lot. It's a really small book and the print isn't small to reflect this. Not enough laughs for the price I'm afraid.Book Review: Love your mind!
Summary: 5 Stars
You never let me down.The book is highly entertaining,a close second to mine! A must read.Book Review: Faux Intellectualism
Summary: 1 Stars
As a student of politics and French philosophy, I appreciate subtle humor, intellectual irony, and the quirky erudite comment. But this book, which is marketed as the "thinking person's" humor book, was utterly disappointing. I don't know who Mr. Martin is trying to entertain, but I couldn't think of anyone I know who would enjoy such "drivel". That's why my copy hit the trash.
