Rating:  Summary: Great bathroom book..... Review: This is the perfect book to leave lying around your bathroom. You'll hear guests chuckling to themselves when they go to use your can, I guarantee it! It's not the kind of book you want to read in one sitting, his rants are the perfect length for a short stay on your commode, and funny enough to keep you entertained if you're not going anywhere for a while.
Rating:  Summary: An Excellent Follow-Up Review: To anyone who read the first book of rants, this book is more of the same. To anyone who hasn't...what are you waiting for?Miller once again proves why he is in a league of few peers. This collection of insights on pertinent social topics is at times funny, at times hilarious, and always thought provoking. I can't agree with everything he has to say but I do respect his points of view, mostly because of the fair, rational way he gets his point across. The only problem I have with it is I sometimes had to go searching for info on the obscure references he mentions! A highly enjoyable and unfortumately all too quick read.
Rating:  Summary: Specacularly Humorous with a dash of realism Review: To call this book hilarious is equivalent to telling Alanis Morrisette that she needs to be just a bit more filled with rage. Few comedians can use intelligent banter with their monologues, without reverting back to f*** jokes. Even fewer can include those jokes and make it funny. For the latter, Miller is the Einstien of the art. I look forward to reading his rants with continual enthusiasm. I even find his adept use of metaphor rubbing off on me (to the point of claiming that '...to call the justice department a circus is to insult bearded ladies & trapeze artists everywhere') Both the first and second editions of his rants are brilliant commentaries on where we are and how we got here. If there is a complaint, it's that the books aren't long enough and there are only two of them.
Rating:  Summary: Just Plain Hilarious! Review: To Dennis Miller: Keep up the good work and asinine remarks. To everyone else: If you loved watching him and the rest of the Not Ready For Primetime Players on SNL, You will love him all over again. Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be sucking up to him.
Rating:  Summary: Best socio-comedy since Lenny Bruce. Review: What a pleasure it is to read intelligently formatted critism of today's society and get in return an comedic injection of the best laughs I've had in years.
