Rating:  Summary: My Second Review... Review: OK, I realize, by all of your negative reviews that my previous review that you just do not like it. Well I guess I can change the text a little bit to get on your guys' good side.The book is midly funny, compared to the "The Rants". It lacks that certain quality of a book that is humour. I guess it is a sequel book, it is a poor copy of the first. Dennis Miller is a funny/smart kinda guy, but this is just not as good. Remember, ideas change, that is why they are ideas and not written in stone. So after I did a second look, I found it was a poor attempt.

Rating:  Summary: This book contains about 15 funny pages Review: Once again Dennis Miller has written a book about his unfunny view of everything bad in the world. Even with all the writers that he had to get to help him, he still couldn't put it all together to form a book that is worth buying. It is good to get at the library, because once you read it you will be glad you didn't buy it.
Rating:  Summary: Not Bad - but not very good. Review: Overall, I enjoyed reading this book. It had some funny parts which were worthy of reading, despite the annoying parts. What do I mean when I say "annoying parts" ? stuff like "As for my computer skills, you know there hasn't bee anyone that ineffective at a keyboard since Susan Dey was in The Partridge Family.". I'm not sure who Susan Dey is, and I barely remember the Partridge Family. The point is, I think one of every 3-4 funny "bits" of the book refers to a name, or a show, or something. Nevermind that I don't know 80% of these names - it just stops being funny after the 3rd or 4th times. Anyway, Like I said before, it's funny despite the annoying parts.
Rating:  Summary: Good, but not as good as The Rants Review: Overall, I liked this book although it wasn't as good as his first book: The Rants. It just wasn't as funny and it was too preachy. Just my opinion, I could be wrong. (Also, being from Pittsburgh is a good sign)
Rating:  Summary: Dennis at his usual best! Review: The hilarity continues! Dennis Miller is at his usual best at looking at life today as we may (or may not) know it. Whether you agree with his opinions or not, he always seems to put a smile (or at least a smirk) on your face. I know when you get an audiobook, it's usually abridged...and you do lose a few rants (in comparison with the "book" version), but with a book like this, as well as his first one, I feel it is MUCH more effective to actually HEAR the inflection in Miller's voice (his Washington rant is more than worth the cost of the book itself!). It's well worth the loss of a few rants...and so much more enjoyable! It's also a great way to get your "fix" until his show comes back to HBO in January 1999.
Rating:  Summary: Dennis Miller is A Geneus! Review: This book is the best book I have ever read! I adored this book! It was so funny! And Dennis is sooooo right in some of the rants like the paragraphs on sportsfans and their way of routing for the team!
Rating:  Summary: A Must Buy Review: This book on tape is a must have. It is much funnier than Dennis's previous work. This is a great commentary on the world as it is today.
Rating:  Summary: An F-N Torcano!!! Review: This book reads like a F---N Torcano! Just like watching the show, Dennis hits hard, laughs at himself on occasion, and always makes us use what little grey matter is left upstairs after all the bs of day to day modern life. Cudos, Dennis. everyone else: Buy this book! END
Rating:  Summary: Hilarious and thought-provoking Review: This follow-up to "The Rants," continues on in the tradition of Miller's intelligent comments on life, politics and about anything else he can put his mind into. You find yourself laughing outloud while realizing that the majority of the things he writes about are intelligent truths. Most chapters are worth reading over and over.
