Summary: Common-sense philososphy
Review: While it made made laugh out loud about every third page, I think it a bit limiting to refer to this as a book of Comedy only. There is more truth in a lot of what Carlin says than possibly even he realizes, and certainly a great deal more than any of our so-called leaders spout forth on a regular basis. The negativity abounds, or at least what seems to be Negativity. Carlin shows that what is often considered bad or unkind, is, simply put, true. Unless you just can't stand swear words, read this book!

Summary: The Funniest Thing I've Ever Read
Review: I picked up this book in a bookstore about a year and a half ago. I knew very little about George Carlin at the time, other than that he was in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and some kiddie show. The very first moment I opened it, however, I almost literally cracked up. I was gasping for air, pounding the shelves, and getting dirty looks from everyone around me, but I didn't care. I never knew the written word could be so funny. It has been over a year since I bought it and I still at least glance at it nearly every day. Even bits I've read dozens of times before still make me laugh out loud. I just doesn't get any better than this. I'm waiting on pins and needles for the sequel.The book itself may have been thrown together rather quickly, but I'm sure the ideas it contains have been germinating and taking shape in Carlin's head for years. A lot of the language and politics related material is quite thought provoking provided you can stop laughing long enough to think. Frankly, I'm shocked there are so many people who seem to hate "Brain Droppings." I can see maybe if you are offended by the language (which is entirely possible), but saying the book is not funny at all just stupifies me. Carlin is a comedy genius and that's all there is to it. Buy this book!

Summary: Greatest book by the only true realist
Review: Most see George Carlin as an extremely humorous comedian. After reading his book, not only do i see him as that, but also as the world's only true realist. He sees everything excactly how it really is. No BS. Some of the book has no real structure; but rather, is a collection of his thoughts. But that makes his book all the better. I've seen his live performances, and although they are great, he expresses a lot more about himself and his views in Brain Droppings. I recommend Brain Droppings for anyone who has an open mind and is not afraid to see reality for what it really is.

Summary: Funniest man alive
Review: George Carlin has to be one of the most talented men alive. Not only does he make you laugh so hard you'll almost cry, but he also makes you think about the world around you. This book is a great example of Carlin's outstanding talent. If you have any sence of humor at all, this book is a must for you.

Summary: Not for the timid.
Review: In reviewing a book there is a tendency to review the author, not the book. This difference is magnified with this book as Carlin's humor at times seems in bad taste, ugly and negative, which could be criticized. Sometimes his thoughts are cutting and to the point - valid observations of the human state that make me laugh. But, that's my perception. The negative stuff is not funny to me, however it may seem funny to someone with a different outlook on life. Thus, this is not a criticism, but a review of his material to let readers know what to expect while browsing through the mind of George Carlin as set down on the pages of "brain droppings." Although not stated in the book, it is simply a collection of Carlin's stand-up comedy material as developed throughout his career. He uses slang and curse words to emphasize his points, and, sometimes, concepts meant to shock. This scenario would then appeal to those who portend to be outgoing, avant-garde, or "macho" in their mind set, for whatever reason. Due to this nature, I found it helpful to appreciate the humor of the more outlandish material if I could imagine his voice and manner of speaking as the words streamed from the page into my consciousness. As its format is that of a reference book, that is, a collection of non related thoughts, there is no particular theme or objective other than to observe the thoughts of Mr. Carlin who has the ability to make you laugh at yourself and some of the silliness in the world. Obvious is its objective to generate income as a collection of his routines. This it does with impunity. His material reveals him to be highly thoughtful, creative and sometimes silly, and it makes wonderful potty reading. Thanks George, it nicely illustrates that you are a grade "A" comic.
