Book Review: WHAAAAT is the DEEEEEAL with this BOOOOOOK? It's a book about NOTHIIIING!
Summary: 2 Stars
Found a used copy of this, many years after the fact, and thought I'd give it a try. I've never been a fan of Seinfeld the comedian or "Seinfeld" the sitcom, although I've at least started to grudgingly admit that he can be funny sometimes...maybe by accident.
The few laughs I got from this book seemed to be accidental, anyway..but there were still enough to rate two stars...just barely!
As Seinfeld might have observed, 'It's like the jokes were invited to a party for all the other funny jokes, but the not-funny jokes crashed the party. You could almost imagine a guy at the door saying, 'OK, one-liners over there, riddles, this way, shaggy-dog stories, yeah, come on in, you're good...vaguely humorous observations? I don't see you on my list...''
Classic example of a guy who already had more than enough money trying to cash in even more.
Book Review: close to being a rip-off
Summary: 2 Stars
If you're enough a fan of Seinfeld to be looking at this, you're not gonna get something you haven't seen before.
This book is nothing more than the transcripts of virtually all the stand-up segments from the Seinfeld show, so you've probably heard all the jokes. There's no new material. It seems like somebody just got some production assistant somewhere to transcribe all the stand-up stuff and then sent it off to the printers as a way of churning out even more money for Seinfeld & Co.
If that isn't bad enough, Seinfeld seems a lot more witty and insightful in person than in print. When his jokes are written down, they seem crude and whiny.
Book Review: really funny
Summary: 4 Stars
Its so funny you can read it in a few hours. I hope Seinfeld writes another book because this one is very funny. I definetly recommend this book, it can make a good gift.
