Summary: Seinfeld is the best at making the everyday funny
Review: Some people have stated that the long-running Seinfeld sitcom was a show about nothing. Which is probably true, but largely irrelevant. A large amount of very good comedy is based on the incongruity of everyday events, which to some people is nothing. Seinfeld continues in this mode with the short vignettes in this book.
The stories vary from the problems of finding a parking spot in New York City to the absurdity of professional wrestling. Each is funny and demonstrates Seinfeld at his comedic best. He is the best at taking the everyday things of life and making them funny. I urge you to read and enjoy.

Summary: Any Seinfeld fan can't go wrong.
Review: This book contains much of Jerry's stand-up acts, and most of which have been used during the beginning and end of the episodes of his sitcom series. Written or not said through his mouth, this humor is still great. Whenever I read these entries I can imagine it all being said from his voice. Remember that humor has sustained as a people for the past 5000 years.

Summary: There's a reason this book sells for a penny...
Review: This book was hugely disappointing. I'm a huge Seinfeld fan - my Tivo is always jammed with episodes and I'm anxiously waiting for the DVD release. I thought the DVD "Comedian" was pretty entertaining, but I simply could not get into this book and read 1/3 before putting it down for good.

If you're like me and assume this is any sort of story you'll be disappointed, too. The book is nothing more but a series of jokes, each a paragraph long or so, that do not make up much of a larger story. If you're familiar with the show, you'll have already heard most of the jokes as intro's to the show.

My suggestions- if you're looking for Seinfeld material, the "Comedian" DVD is good or be patient and wait for the episode series to come out. If you're looking for a comedian's book to read, Drew Carey's is a bit older, but pretty funny nonetheless.

There's a reason why "Seinlanguage" sells for $0.01.
