Rating:  Summary: It's REALLY a Scream Review: My good friends Shill and Unit recommeded this book to me which is surprising since I didn't think they were devotees of fine literature. Still, I am eternally grateful to them for turning me onto the wit and wisdom of Mr. Tony. He can make anything funny. Ya know what I mean, jelly bean? My favourite selection in the book was the one about Monica Lewinsky. Sure it was funny, but also tender and sensitive. It is a rare writer that can take seemingly mundane happenings and spin them into hilarious incidents that most of us would just as soon forget. My recommedation is that you only read one or two of the pieces a day. Reading more than two may cause a dangerous situation where the reader is apt to die of laughter. In fact, better just read one a day, just to be on the safe side. You could buy this book and be disappointed but buy it anyway. The cover is cute.
Rating:  Summary: Ding! Woooooooo! Review: He's Epic. He's Clah-sick. He ad-libs his own takes. The K-man from DC-town. Rack him. He's back. He can write. He's a load. He's a load that can write. Pony up the coin, you dope. Mail the book to the ESPN SportsZone in your own hometown. (Didn't you know that the show is produced in YOUR city?) Get it back autographed by TKStack$$ himself - irradiation included @ no extra charge. Affirmation, baby. With the purchase of 1,000 copies you will get to choose between the following "bonus" gifts: You can either host a Tour Stop of the infamous 3rd hour or select a prize from the dusty dog cage full of mystery gifts (many still wrapped!) which have been collected over the past 7 years. Don't forget to order the books of TK's guests like Stephen Hunter, Mike Lupica, Norman Chad, Mitch Albom and John "Junior" Feinstein. Oh, wait, Junior has been banned by the suits. Nevermind. You should also purchase Mel Kiper, Jr.'s Big Blue Book about prospective NFL draftees, but do not touch the Big Blue Ball. Unfortunately, this book stinks. It's well-produced, but it's a terrible book. I take my eggs scrambled with a little Tabasco sauce. Remember, while imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, mockery is the sincerest form of mockery.
Rating:  Summary: Old, fat, orange, bald... Review: and incredibly funny. Tony strikes again with a collection of Washington Post Style columns on a wide array of topics from Clinton to south Florida retirees to the weatherman. A classic American literary piece its not, but for light, entertaining reading it wins out. Be careful where you read it - I laughed out loud on more than one occasion. Enjoy.
Rating:  Summary: Affirmation Review: Will I'm Back For More Cash win a National Book Award? I sincerely doubt it! But if you want a great read while munching on some Gummy Life Savers, during your personal snack down, this is the book for you. Send your intern out today to get as many copies as possible, you won't regret it!
Rating:  Summary: This Book Stinks Review: Tony Kornheiser is one of the funniest men alive. It was great to be able to read his non-sports collumns. This book really shows his versatility
Rating:  Summary: This book stinks Review: This book stinks, although I'm missing the last third here in Chicago.
Rating:  Summary: Tome is Burning Review: Rack this book, it is so epic. Feel free to pay with Cash, Credit Card, Check, or the Infiniti plan, where you pay fully for the book, but do not touch it for 4 months. Note : Chicagoland purchasers will not be able to read the last third of this book. Instead they will have to read a syndicated radio host read scripted "takes" written by someone else. I'm back for more cash, is such a fine work of art. Almost as compelling as a drive down the fevered pitch of a soccer field. Paperback, perfect for a nice day outdoors on a hammock!
Rating:  Summary: Tome is Burning Review: This book is so epic. Buy this classic paperback today. You can pay with cash, check, or the Infiniti plan, where you pay for the book in full, but don't touch it for 4 months. Note: As of May 12th, this book will be 1/3 shorter in the Chicagoland area. The last third of the book was sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars to a syndicated host from L.A. In its place will be scripted takes, written by someone other than the host. Paperback!! Ideal for a nice afternoon in the backyard on the new hammock.
Rating:  Summary: Tony Kornheiser is Much better than Dave Barry Review: tony kornheiser is by far my favorite writer/ESPN guy....he is much funnier than dave barry, ....im a young guy (18) so some of the political stuff flew on over my head, just becasue i dont really pay attenion to it, but this book is great......dont just buy this book, buy his other ones too and then send him a dollar. peace.
Rating:  Summary: Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Orangemen Review: This book is very funny. Sure, the author is not funny like Robert Benchley was funny but it does ellicit a giggle or two or three. Then again, Benchley had a rather boring skin tone and didn't dash around town wearing a cape. As noted in other reviews, this book is a collection of Mr. Kornheisers columns written while he was an actual working writer of humor columns for the Washington Post. Since it is a collection, there should be something here to entertain just about anyone. As a matter of fact, with the holidays in full frantic depressing overdrive, why not cheer up your pals with this lively book? My advice is to wrap it up in paper instead of stuffing it into a stocking. I've tried to stuff it in my x-mas stocking and it was patently obvious that it was a book. No surprise there. Anyway, get this book for yourself and all your friends, if you have any.
