Summary: Funny and clever, the best of it's kind.
Review: This book was completely hilarious from start to finish. It was witty, interesting and thought-provoking. He points out the irony of religion and politics in a fresh and clever way. Stewart's writting is not only comical, but quite intelligent, I was throughly impressed.

Summary: Why Do they Pick little people...
Review: Why did they pick to talk about Hanson? They only did it to get girls to try and read..And Martha Streward? John Steward only did it cuase she has his last name. He tried to pick topics to get demographics. NOT WORKING. And don't diss Jews.

Summary: Big disappointment
Review: Let me preface this by saying that I am a huge Jon Stewart fan. I watched his show, I always tape his appearances on David Letterman, and I even advance ordered the book from this site... All of this, and it was horrible.It's got 163 pages, and yet only two jokes: "Ooh, aren't the Jews funny," and "How 'bout them Christians?" When Stewart was on 'Dennis Miller Live' a few months ago, he said the book would be "like the old Woody Allen books, except [worse]." Well no kidding. It tries to be like the old Woody Allen books, except none of it is original fiction-- it's all "parody." It's all about Hitler, Hanson, Jack Kennedy, Hitler, Larry King, a grituitous aren't-I-hip story about Lenny Bruce, Hitler, and then Leonardo DiVinci. I just hope my local bookstore will take it back. I didn't bend the cover too much.

Summary: Changed my life!
Review: From beginning to end this book enthralled me and left me captivated and on the edge of my seat and trapped in the pages. Move over Big Mac, there is a new power hitter on the block. Great for the whole family!

Summary: Damn funny book
Review: This smart book is filled with some really great essays. I, sitting alone, started laughing loudly in the middle of the coffee shop. Don't read this book if your embarrassed by such outbursts from yourself. Or at least don't read it in public.

Summary: I can't believe I'm limited to 5 stars
Review: ....this is the funniest thing since MEIN KAMPF. I cannot claim to truly understand it but I am nevertheless certain that this is the best book I will ever read. The title threw me off as I was expecting a lurid peak at little Gary Coleman but the Marv Albert photos were sublime. Thank you Mr. Stewart

Summary: Mom is going to Jail
Review: Jon this is your mother Martha. As you know, I am going to jail. While I am in jail, do not write any more books that suck as badly as this one does. Or else I'll have to go back to jail for giving you a whooping when I get out!

Summary: Enhancement Reader
Review: Hilarious!!! I couldn't put it down. While some of it can be misconstrewed as offensive, consider the source. He pokes fun at himself as much as he does at Hanson, Bill Gates, and, best of all, Martha Stewart. Read It!!!

Summary: Not So Great
Review: You have to remember what makes Jon Stewart funny on TV. It is not only his lines, but his delivery and accompanying facial expressions. Some of the vignettes in this book could be funny with his delivery. Some would not be even amusing with Mr. Stewart delivering them at his best.
The book is made up of various vignettes about people living, dead and fictitious. I found some mildly amusing (like Bill Gates and some of the Jewish humor), some awful (cult leader) and some that were amazingly dated for a 1999 publication (the Hansens).
Even if you are a big Stewart fan I think you will find yourself skipping and skimming through much of this book. My advice would be to close the book and watch "The Daily Show".
Rating:
Summary: Humor not as sharp as his show
Review: I got this book because I enjoy watching the The Daily Show, however was very disappointed after reading the book. Stewart's attempts at short stories fall short - way short. I gave his book two stars because I did enjoy one of the stories, but the rest didn't entertain me. I bought this book based on several positive reviews, but if you're thinking about purchasing a humor book, look elsewhere such as Steve Martin's Pure Drivel.
