Summary: Some what funny
Review: A fan of both Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner I was a little disappointed in the book. It's a quick read. Interested? Go to your local library. I took mine of the Express Shelf (7-days loan.) and could have returned it the same afternoon. Unless you collect Brooks-Reiner books save your $$$.

Summary: ...Until it hurt!
Review: I laughed at this updated version of mel and carl's classic work, and it prompted me to delve further into the world of mel brooks comedy. Oye, this guy is FUNNY!

Summary: Yuck!
Review: I Paid a little less than 2 dollars for this book at a discount book store and that is just about what it is worth! Some of the jokes aren't funny ! I whited out all the inappropriate references which where unfunny and frequent! Don't buy this book unless you prefer filthy and unfunny humor books! Mel brooks and Carl reiner can be very funny when they get there mind out of the gutter. That is why I bought this book! I wish I hadn't

Summary: The Very Good Book
Review: I've said it before, I'll say it again, Mel Brooks is a comedical genius. This book is a great short read. Whether you're new to this 2000 year old man or you're a long time fan this book is hilarious. Much of it is rewording of the old acts that Mel did with Carl Reiner. They make fun of everyhting from the new miracle diets to God to sex. There's even a section called See Moses Run. The humor is if anything very Jewish which is great, if you understand Judaism.
If you like Brooks humor, buy this book. It's good for a gift if you get it along with the accompanying CD under the same title as the book or the Complete 2000 Year Old Man 4 disc set.

Summary: The FUNNIEST book I have ever read!!!!!
Review: The first time I read this book I was on a plane and everyone was staring at me because I could not stop laughing. You can try not to, but you just have to laugh. Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner have not lost their flair for funny.

Summary: It's thin.I laughed. Call me a schlemiehl!
Review: True, it's about a two hour read for most -- five for me but I tracethe words with my finger as I read. On the plane, I laughedaloud. There was some whispering and the woman next to me changed her seat. Some of it may be recycled shtick but it still seems fresh. Most I've never seen/heard and I have listened to the Old Man CDs. I'd say there's fifty belly laughs, ten chortles, one guffaw, three titters and a smile. It will give you a few hours of delightfully outrageous grumpy old Jewish man humor. I should know. Buy it. Read it. Laugh. Eat your oatmeal and let me alone already. END

Summary: Short & sweet
Review: Yeah, It is a short read. Yeah, I bought it for US$2.50 equivalent. Yeah it is a lot of rehash.It is still real funny. Funnier if you have a knowledge of history, the Bible and ancient comedy.

Summary: Yuck!
Review: Yes, a lot of it is rehashed from the original routines on the records, but it's still pretty funny stuff - and if the title page made me laugh then it must be pretty funny! You do have to be a Mel Brooks fan in order to appreciate this book. If you're not, then you just won't like it, no matter how much I or anyone else recommends it. But if you are, then be prepared for some fall-down roll-on-the-floor howls.
