Summary: Tony Kornheiser at his funniest
Review: I tend to agree with G. Gordon Liddy, who refers to the Washington Post as the Washington Bleep. I will make exception for Tony's articles.
I became familiar with Kornheiser on his now defunct radio program. He started out as a sports columnist, but he branched out into writing a "Style" column. This book is a collection of his "Style" columns. Those columns are comparible to (and better than, in my opinion) Dave Barry.
The editors have placed the columns into six categories, and even in these categories, they are placed in a thematic order. To me, this is the major weakness of this collection; I would find a pot-pouri approach more entertaining.
Another negative to this book, in my opinion, is a couple of sections of irreverant political humor. He has one section on the 2000 election, and another on Clinton's impeachment. I know from the radio program that Kornheiser is more liberal than I am, but he shows no favorites in his jabs. However, I do not like this form of humor regardless of the target or the writer.
So why did I give this book four stars? Because it is hilarious. The weaknesses are not reasons not to buy this book. If you are familiar with Pardon The Interuption on ESPN, you will see what Tony is like, and if you like Tony, you'll like this book.
One last comment -- there are touching moments in this book as well, such as when he talks about losing a couple of relatives. Kornheiser is not just a humorist, he is a person. When he left his radio program, a person commented that he never wondered what Tony is like in real life, because it shows. It also shows in this book.

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!

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.
