Summary: Humor with a twist
Review: A unique, quirky twist on observational humor. Ms. Rosenthal has a knack for capturing the minutiae of life with a concise and fresh wit. I think eleven is a funny number and, after reading this hilarious compilation of lists of eleven, you will too.

Summary: I'd give it 11 Stars if I could
Review: Amy Krouse Rosenthal is a brilliant writer who finds the words to describe feelings that you didn't know you even had until you read her book and said to yourself, "That's so funny! The same thing happened to me!" A must-read for anyone with a sense of humor.
Rating:
Summary: 5 stars plus one more
Review: Amy's gift for observation is truly amazing. The only talent she has in even more abundance is the ability to write. One word of advice, if you do get the chance to meet Amy, be profound in what you say. It could end up on paper.

Summary: Can't Wait for "The Book of Twelve"
Review: Every once in a while, you'll read something so funny that it makes you smile all day. Well, Amy Krouse Rosenthal's "The Book of Eleven" does that and more. Each piece of "brain lint" (what she calls her writing) is a gem, meshing the hysterical and insightful in a truly unique way. I had read some of Amy's work before in the now defunct "Might" magazine, but "The Book of Eleven" represents a true coming-out party for her. Combine Saturday Night Live's Jack Handy, Jerry Seinfeld, and your mom and you may have a sense of her style. I challenge anyone not to smile, laugh, and think while reading this one!

Summary: life is funnier that you think...here's proof
Review: It has been a long time since I have read something so insightful toward my own life that I find myself looking over my shoulder to see if the author is following me around. The book of eleven is an irreplacable travel companion for anyone interested in seeing the humor present in the journey of life. Not bad if someone just wants to grin a bit, too. I grinned so much that I may have inadvertently grinned over my limit and therefore someone else now may not be able to grin at all. But that is just how funny this book is, I get greedy with grinning.

Summary: Hey! Stuff This!... (in someone you love's stocking)
Review: Ms. Rosenthal has an insight you'll find startling, almost to the point of being scary. While reading her hysterical book, I was shouting "Hey, girl, get outta' my head!" Of course, her voice was competing with the one that keeps saying, "Go back to the bathroom and wash your hands again." Anyway, you'll love this book and so will your favorite people. And at this price, this is one gift you can afford to get everyone! Ten stars!

Summary: Not That Clever After All
Review: This book (and its author, whom I've never met but feel like I have) are witty, funny, intelligent, crazy, insightful, silly, sexy, and kinda stupid sometimes. Sound good? It is.

Summary: Witty humor I think of everday, I wish I would have written
Review: This book is absolutely hilarious! I am a high school student, and these are things that come into my mind, and many of my friend's minds on a daily basis. All I can say, this is stuff that most of us don't think to put onto paper. I wish I would have written it. But, hey, great job to Amy!

Summary: Finally! There is someone out there who thinks like I do
Review: This book is absolutely hilarious! I enjoy reading humor, but rarely find anything written funny enough to laugh out loud about. This book changed that. I spent the whole book laughing as well as pondering. This is a great, quick read that can be enjoyed over and over. Buy one for yourself and some as gifts, their great!!!
