Summary: WOW
Review: One of the best books I have ever read. It is not only hilarious, it is filled with very insightful and touching wisdom. It should be required reading in high school.

Summary: I dont understand him, and I love it!
Review: What is up with him? Sometimes he swears every other word and makes you want to cringe (as in, "I CANT BELIEVE HE IS SAYING THIS!), and other times he is curse-free, serving up little random bits of cute humor that, although it is not laughable, puts a smile on my face. His routines are tremendous, his short takes are observant and clever, his lists are quite strange, and when I finished the last sentence, I was begging for more. BUY THIS BOOK! You will not be disappointed, ONLY OFFENDED!

Summary: A must for TRUE George Carlin fans
Review: I say a must for TRUE George Carlin fans because some of the content of this book may seem like the hysterical ravings of a madman. A true George Carlin fan will recognize this as insightful yet brutally honest observations of the current situation of humanity and society. I felt that the book was "laugh-out-loud" funny at the beginning and slowly fading to smiles and snickers. Some of the content is from past stand-up routines and a lot is simply one-liners. But it is all funny and certainly worth your while. It is also a very quick-reading book--I finished it in two days.

Rating:
Summary: The End of an Era is finally at hand!
Review: This piece of pitiful piffle has only two barely noticeable and recognizable highlights: the classic "Baseball and Football" and "A Place for my Stuff" routines, superfluously updated for the young and ignorant '90's dwellers. I recieved this pile of paper for my birthday in '98, and it was by far, the most disappointing put-forth effort by any modern entertainer that I have ever heard of. I refer to it as such because it ended up as fire-fodder, and the front cover came in very handy as a dartboard. However, I managed to salvage the two aformentioned sections with the classicly humorous material intact. My thoughts on this bitter old man's career dwindling into the inevitable downward spiral as it has gradually has happened is this: the guy has lost it for sure, he is completely out of touch, and should give up further attempts to entertain (I use this term loosely) the general public any longer. Give it up, G.C.!

Summary: 100% Carlin
Review: Ok, now I must admit, I am extremely biased in this review. For the simple fact that I believe George Carlin is the funniest man alive, why else would I have drove 6 hours to see him live? This book is Carlin to the tee. If you are easily offended, or unable to accept a good idea, I suggest leaving this book alone. However if you are open minded, and up for a good laugh, get it!

Summary: Some dead-on observations by the master of modern cynicism
Review: I'm a HUGE Carlin fan, so I was very excited to see that he had finally written down some of his famous rantings. I have to say..(Sorry George!) I was kinda let down. Don't get me wrong! There are some really funny things in the book, (I especially enjoyed his dissection of the phrase "Bat out of Hell") but the 2 HUGE "Short Takes" sections of the book just didn't work for me. Considering these 2 unfunny sections comprise a third of the book, they really dragged down an otherwise enjoyable read.

Summary: it's about time we read about how silly we can be
Review: Well, for a George Carlin fan, this is what you want to read. It's funny to the last word and more. I read this book and actually took the time to site a few passages i thought needed to be shared to some of my co-workers. George deserves a 5 star from me. Who ever doesn't like this book and likes George Carlin needs to make decisions and try to balance out it's ego on life social truths

Summary: Carlin's Comic Masterpiece
Review: This book is what any Carlin fan would expect from him. It is hilarious. Carlin points out society's weaknesses and embarassments. He is a champion of common sense, such as wearing shirts without logos while everybody else is a walking billboard, making those who think they are better and more creative and more important appear very arrogant and stupid. Carlin's rhetorical questions are highly amusing: Have you ever run somebody over? And then you panic, and back up? Did you notice the second crunch wasn't quite as loud? This book is definitely a great source of entertainment; once you pick it up and start reading, it is hard to put it back down.
