Summary: It's the thought that counts!
Review: I am surprised when I speak of George Carlin's humor and logic people always say "He has a dirty mouth". FOLKS! LISTEN TO ME AND ESPECIALLY TO GEORGE! He is trying to get a point across with his humor, which is exactly what comedian Lenny Bruce was doing many years ago. If all you see is the cussing, then you miss on an opportunity to think. It's like the old saying "What you see is what you get" ...Braindroppings is hiliarious! I really love his take on religion, politics, and fallacies that many of us seem to believe in. One line he says is "I don't want something that's good for headahces. I want something that's bad for headaches and good for me. As well, I don't want the doctor prescribing me pain pills, I need relief pills"HE also makes fun of euphisms that many of the liberals like to use. They like conservatives, don't think about what they are doing and as well he thinks the euphisms are a form of lying. He's absolutely right! Calling someone cripple versus "differently abled" is crap, as well it is a vague term. But, I don't want to spoil it for you. Go ahead and buy this book! It will put a smile on your face and will get you to start thinking.

Summary: Good Short Book!
Review: At the time, I was reading a sci-fi book that was very serious. I was thinking "God, I really need something to read that is just funny and serious at the same time." Braindroppings! (fanfare music) I have read this book with a stupid grin on my face, and I EXTREMLY love "G.c's Guide to Dining out." Also, I was amazed by the puns that he uses so well. And his clean humor is the best part in the book. "Killer Comic" proves of this. There is nothing wrong with the length (258 pages). It's a very fast read, BELIEVE ME!

Summary: You will laugh!
Review: It helps to be as familiar with Carlin's stage delivery, so that you can more or less "hear" this material in his voice and intonation. But you will laugh, regardless. Only from the brilliant mind of Mr. Carlin will you hear/read such observational gems!! I gotta wonder if having a sense of perception and observation like his is a blessing or a curse. I guess he is still about as "counterculture" as counterculture can be nowadays, but he is also has an incisive, intelligent mind, make no mistake! And he is politically incorrect not for shock's sake, but because he has his b.s. meter on at all times and isn't afraid to comment on it. Not all of the material translates well to written form, but if you can "hear" it in his voice, it is like having Carlin the Master give a command performance just for you.

Summary: Funny
Review: Read this book. No, really, read it. Read this book with an open mind, and it's hilarious. Read it any other way and you'll feel guilty for the rest of your life. This book is good, vulgar fun.

Summary: Good Stuff...but ABRIDGED!
Review: I bought the "unabridged" cassette version of this, but when I got it, I found it was actually "unabridged EXCERPTS," which is the kind of oxymoron that you'd think Carlin would despise. Having said that, this is a great supplement to the book, because as most Carlin fans know, at least 50% of the joke is in his delivery; so it's good to hear this stuff actually performed by Carlin himself. But you still have to buy the book to get the entire work.

Summary: An extremely funny book, though not for everyone
Review: I read this one day getting strange looks from my friends, who were wondering what was so funny. That is, until they began reading over my shoulder, and began laughing too. I found that when I read it, my reading mimicked his delivery style found on 'You are all diseased' (which I highly recommend). I am also a fan of his older work, but if you haven't heard any of his recent stand-up you might wonder what happened. Just remember that was thirty years ago, you're probably as old now as your parents were then(scary), and I'm as old now as you probably were then(20). Then he was commenting on your parents world, now its your turn. If you dont like this book, give it to your kids(they'll appreciate it).
I thought the one-liners dragged on a bit, many made me laugh out loud, others I didn't get, some also made you think. If you are offended by scary four letter words you've been hearing since before puberty, you'll be offended. If you appreciate that this world is rather messed up(I'd use a scary four letter word plus "ed", but I don't think amazon.com would like that) you'll see that Carlin's commentaries aren't bitter as some reviews say, but realistic without pointless optimism to make you comfortable.
I finished it in just a few days, and wanted more. I hope the world holds off on destroying itself long enough for Carlin to give us all a few more laughs.

Review: This book had me laughing out loud while I was readsing it in the Book store. It's full of George Carlin's weird observations, strange sayings and all around bad taste, and I loved it.

Summary: I liked it, but...
Review: It's one thing when you read it, and it's a whole other thing when you actually hear it. Don't get me wrong -- George Carlin is my favorite comedian, and it breaks my heart to give his book a mere three stars. But, what can I say? The book just isn't that great. Some parts of the book weren't very funny. I still enjoyed them, more or less, but I can't say I wasn't disappointed. The punch line is: buy one of his CDs first. If you like his style, buy the book. But if you think George Carlin is mean and gross and stupid, then take the book and shove it up your behind, you unenlightened piece of dog excretion!

Summary: a Carlin free-for-all....
Review: ....and definitely not for the easily insulted, offended, or hyperpolitically juxtaposed. Good flip-through mayhem directed everywhere and nowhere in particular. Lots of fun.

Summary: a must read from America's Greatest Active Comic
Review: George Carlin's literary forays are a great success with Brain Droppings. Perhaps the most insightful/hilarious of his essays is one called "Play Ball'' in which the great comic takes on the sportscasting establishment exposing the trivialities and meaningless facts all too frequently revealed by sportscasters. One thing Carlin needs to work on, though: he needs to produce much more cogent anti-theistic arguments.
