Dirty Jokes and Beer: Stories of the Unrefined

Summary: A Very Very Funny Book!
Review: When I first began to read this book I was very shocked at the jokes and the language that he used (picturing the Drew seen on televison) but then I realized that this is the way that most guys think. I never put this book down. He put an honest a hardworking effort into this book and it came out great. I just couldn't stop laughing. I had no clue that it would be like this and I loved it because it surprised me. I especially like the jokes that he put in front of every chapter and his stories that wrap up the book. In conclusion I would like to say that you must look at the title. If you don't like books containing foul language and dirty jokes well you might as well push the back button on your browser but ..... if you love dirty jokes and you wanna have a good laugh I recommend that you read Dirty Jokes and Beer : Stories of the Unrefined by Drew Carey.

Summary: Save your money - the TV show's free and better
Review: The jokes are old, the text is depressing, and Mr Carey was painfully right when he said a ghost writer could have done a better job. Drew Carey spends a large part of the book's 237 pages ranting, raving, and occasionally whining about life. I'm not some blue-blooded snob, but I found his constant profanity to be gratuitous, unimaginative, and tiresome. It's like he's trying to make up for all the language the network censor never lets him put in the show. I LOVE the TV show, but I'm ashamed at myself for having read the entire book (I kept thinking to myself "It HAS to get better!" - it didn't). If you're going to read this book anyway, at least borrow it from the library so you don't feel stupid for wasting your time AND blowing $22.95

Summary: Carey does it again!
Review: This book is great! Drew Carey's views on life express what we all think. From front to back this book is the one for you! It comes with jokes, stories of Drew's life, about his show, his teenager-hood, and even some pictures of Drew when he was little. If you like comedey and don't mind bad language, buy this book!

Summary: Carey Rocks
Review: Dirty Jokes & Beer is the first book by Drew Carey, star of his own self-titled TV show. What makes the show so funny is Mr. Carey's ability to poke fun at himself and the humorous look at every day life. This book is written in the same style except it doesn't suffer from the restrictions of network TV. If you are scared off by vulgar language and sexual situations, then this book isn't for you. Mr. Carey goes into tales of his life with a self-deprecating style and keen eye. His account of his trip to Mardi Gras is hysterical and his chapter on the ability, due to his TV success, to buy a house and accoutrements is priceless. The three short stories that make up the end of the book are extremely funny as well. One minor setback is the chapter of big dick jokes. A few of them are very funny, but he drags it out for too long and they get a little tedious. Overall, this is an extremely enjoyable read and just like his show, laugh out loud funny.

Summary: Just as good as the show
Review: If you're a fan of The Drew Carey Show, then you will love this book. Consider it a kind of extension of the show, only better, because in print, he isn't limited by censors. By his own admission, the book covers ground that he couldn't even begin to touch on air. This book is highly recommended for anyone who wants to know what the show really should have been like.

Summary: Very limited appeal
Review: This is a collection of dirty jokes, short fiction and autobiographical tidbits will please some readers and offend most others. Drew Carey, a stand-up comic and star of his own TV show, writes mostly about sex, drinking, gambling, football and television. Four-letter words dominate this book, giving the book a definite adolescent, male tone. Carey makes note that the more offensive his material, the more popular he became. He also includes a sample of the negative reviews and letters he has received. Overall, this book has a very limited appeal and I don't recommend it.

Summary: 5 Stars for this TYPE of Book
Review: I thought the book was great.. It was his first book and I thought it was pretty funny.. You should not expect this to be a piece of great literature but it is GREAT for what it is.. a comedian's life told by the comedian. I will buy another book written by Mr. Carey if he chooses to write one.
