Summary: Funny, Funny Franken
Review: Al Franken's new book is hilarious! I bought it as a gift for someone else but wound up reading it myself. There are many laughs on every page. Funny, funny, funny.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: Very funny book - maybe not as well-researched as Franken's Rush Limbaugh book, and maybe not as brilliant as the underrated gem Why Not Me?, but my wife and I laughed out loud many times. I only wish we had friends who were graduating from something so we could give it to them as a gift.

Summary: Funny and satirical
Review: Al Farnken writes another great book, this time a take-off of self-help books. Though some may be disappointed that the book is not as political as his others, it still a strong laugh. You should read this if you want a good time.

Summary: Hilarious
Review: Watch out Dr. Suess--Al Franken has given you a run for your money with this laugh-out-loud "advice" book. You'll be reading it aloud in no time to your friends and family. One of the funniest books of the year!

Summary: Not Standard Franken
Review: I think fans of Franken's political satire books will find this book a sad change of pace. While certainly not the worst book of the year and even funny in some places, Franken's trademark bite is curiously lacking. Perhaps one of the strangest things Franken tries to do several times throughout the book is to change pace abruptly from comedy to serious advice. It does not work well, and is almost a pardoy of itself in that sense. Although the sections on marriage are often well-written and humorous, Franken partisans should know they aren't getting Al at his best here. True fans won't mind, but the casual reader will want to wait for another book in the political medium Franken seems to save the best of his talent for.

Summary: Don't wanna get your hopes up, but... F A N T A S T I C !!!!
Review: Some good advice: Always get the audio version of Al Franken's works - spoken/performed by Al himself. It's so much better. Franken is intelligent and hilarious. You might even learn something. Also: check out his show on air america radio (on the internet & radio).
P.S. I listened to this on a long road-trip. Not only did I laugh my *** off, I didn't want the drive to end for fear I might not finish the book.

Summary: Oh, Al Franken Is A Wise Man And You Should Listen To Him!
Review: Oh, I've been a fan of Al's ever since the dawn of the Al Franken Decade. (For you younger kids who haven't learned about it yet in your History classes, the Al Franken Decade was the 1980s.)
This book is probably my favorite of all of Al's books. Besides being hilarious, it's full of a lot of great advice.
Oh, the fun I had reading it!

Summary: So Sad...
Review: When I reviewed Franken's "Why Not Me?" I explained that I had read it because I loved "Rush Limbaugh is a Big..." but "Why Not Me?" had fallen short of my high expectations. THIS book was even MORE disappointing. The subject matter is worn and the material is not that creative, and sadly, just not that funny. Honestly, I WANTED to laugh- I LIKE Al Franken, but this book just feels forced, the kind of thing that's churned out just to meet a publisher's deadline and get Franken's face back to the front of book racks (Pre- "Lies..." of course). It's worth reading if you are stuck on an airplane, or an elevator, or something. Otherwise, pick something else by Franken. ANYTHING else by Franken.

Summary: WOW, is this ever entertaining!
Review: Pundit/comedian Al Franken serves up an extremely witty and wry slice of social criticism. After slogging through a certain John Simon book, this read was quite the breath of fresh air for me. Be warned, though. A lot of the advice Mr. (I mean Dr.) Franken offers is to be taken with a grain of salt, hilarious though it may be. Highly recommended for everyone, as is his book "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them".

Summary: Is it good "bad" advice, or bad "good" advice?
Review: This is quite possibly the worst guide to success ever written; however, it is by far one of the funniest! Full of all kinds of twisted information, the trick is realizing that there is truth in there; it's just not spoonfed to you. The ideas are fairly sound - it's just that the examples are so off the wall, you'd have to be crazy to believe them.
If you read this for the humor and not the advice (as I'm almost positive it was intended), then you're in for a treat. If not, well, you've been warned.
