Summary: Bill Cosby he's not.
Review: After 209 pages of, "I have to fill 209 pages" I was very unimpressed - and these are double spaced pages so us readers really only get 104 1/2 pages. Only twice did I actually laugh to myself with maybe 4 chuckles. I enjoy comedy, but mostly when it's funny. This book read as if it were put together in a hurry so that Ray Romanno can now add "author" on his resume'. It wasn't so bad that I couldn't finish it, but my thoughts while setting it down were: "This book is well worth $4.95," and "Hey, anyone can write a book." Yes, I will continue to watch his TV show.

Summary: Just as good as the show
Review: And why shouldn't it be? The book, like the show, is observational comedy based on his own family. Every page seemed to have something on it that would garner at least an audible chuckle, if not better. But one warning......don't read this when you're around your spouse/significant other, though. You'll end up reading it a second time out loud!

Summary: Great Audiobook
Review: As a new mom I have little time to read these days--I am glad I picked up this audiobook as it was a pleasure to listen to in the car. I love Ray's stand-up and show, and having the book read by him made it even better. Now that I am a mom I can appreciate more of his humor!Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was due to a point mentioned by another reviewer. If you have seen his stand-up routine, many of the stories are repeated in the book. Thankfully for me, I watched his HBO special when I was on the last tape ;-)

Summary: Extremely funny!
Review: Don't expect any detailed plots or intelligent twists and turns. This book is hilarious because it focuses on Ray and his view of life. If you like his kind of funny, you will love this book.
Recommended for Ray fans!

Summary: Funnier in the beginning
Review: Dry, sarcastic humor abounds...and if that's what you appreciate, then you'll enjoy this read. I didn't need all the swearing and sexual comments though. Still recommendable though.

Summary: Very Funny
Review: Everything and a Kite is the funniest and most entertaining book I have ever read. Granted this is the first story/novel/book I've read willingly since 7th grade (I'm a H.S. senior), but I know a good book when I see it. I can't really relate to the married life with all the kids, but it's hilarious to read about his take on these things. Ray's stories about his twins and his wife are entertaining and really seem true to him. That's what I like. It's just him. I didn't even know an audio book existed, but I'm definitely going to pick that up right away. And also, his cd Live at Carnegie Hall is awesome, though much of the material is in the book, it's still great to hear him do stand up.

Summary: this is a quick read
Review: First off, I'm not even a big fan of Everybody Love Ramond. I watch WWf Wrestling instead. But I bought his book because I have seen Ray on tv and I thought he was kinda funny. And this book was very funny. I really enjoyed it. He told a lot of great stories about being a Dad and his love of soup and pistachios. I had to put the book down a couple times because I was laughing so hard. If anyone knows of another book this funny, let me know.

Summary: Very funny book!
Review: For those of you who know the show, Everybody Loves Raymond, you'll love this book! It's almost as funny! I laughed OUT LOUD while reading this book -- a first for me! It is easy to read and very funny. However, I was surprised by the profanity in it. It wasn't filled with profanity, but it is there and it is not appropriate reading material for children or teen-agers for this reason. However, if you won't be offended by a few bad words, used only when necessary, you'll love this book! It's as funny as he is! (Keep in mind his tone of voice when reading the book and it'll even be funnier!)
Rating:
Summary: It does what a humor book should.
Review: From the wild book jacket to the end, Ray's book does just what a humor book should: first, make you laugh, and also, see the world in a different way. This book covers it all, is painfully funny, and even leaves you with a positive feeling about life. Some people may not like the few profanities, but I wouldn't want to spend any time with these people. Money well spent.
