Summary: Don Novello's done it again.
Review: Don Novello a.k.a. Lazlo Toth has done it again.
As hilarious and insigtful a read as I've had this century.
The letters are as great as ever and the responses show these guys for what they are.
While reading I had to put it down more than a few times because I can't laugh that hard and read at the same time.
My only question...Don...what took you so long?
Get this book!!!

Summary: From Bush To Bush: The Lazlo Tooth Letters
Review: HILARIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL!

In reading Don Novello's wonderful and funny book "Bush to Bush" "The Lazlo Tooth Letters" I couldn't stop laughing. But on a serious note, I would like to know if it's true that there's a venomous poison Lurking Monk fish,or the Lurking Monk Fish of Mazatlan. Like a chameleon it has the ability to change colors, and it's biggest trick is turning blue and disguising itself as water. it may be true ... but since Lazlo Tooth wrote it I doubted it, therefore,I have written to an authority on "Dangerous Marine Animals of the world" I am waiting for a reply. I have read all Don Novello's books and look forward to him writing many more in the future.It is enjoyable disgussing his books with my friends who enjoy his books as well. I suggest his books make great gifts for any occasion for young and old alike

Summary: Give the gift of laughter by giving someone this book!
Review: I had the pleasure of meeting Don Novello at a book signing. He is such a sincere and intelligent person-- one of America's greatest and least known wits.

Sadly, he said that this is his last "Lazlo Toth" book.

I almost described this book here as being "remorselessly" funny. But that would be incorrect. Don Novello's humor lacks any nuance of cruelty-- his is a quirky, kind humor. Biting, yes! But humane.

An abbreviated example:

England's Queen Mother, he notes in one letter, may be burdened by titles supreme and inconsequential-- but probably will never be "designated driver".

Summary: From Bush to Boredom
Review: I have to say I was really looking forward to this book -- I loved the first Lazlo Letters and was amused by Citizen Lazlo, but I was sort of underwhelmed with this third edition in the Lazlo Trilogy. The problem is this -- when you write a book that is supposed to be timely (i.e. Current Events/Politics), it's sort of necessary that the subject matter be either extremely well-known (big happenings) or really funny. Here, in From Bush to Bush, Novello's letters span from '92 through present day, covering over a decade of political issues that spurred Novello's letters, but on the whole most people will have no idea what he's talking about. In addition to that, they're just not nearly as funny as his other books and letters. I will say this -- there are a couple of funny letters that genuinely made me laugh, but these have nothing to do with the theme of the book, they are letters to companies like Campbell's Soup and M&M/Mars. They're sort of out of place in a political book, and ruin the flow. It's too bad, too, cause Novello is known as the pioneer of this book's genre of letter writing, but he should have just quit while he was ahead and not tainted the first two by coming out with a mediocre third. There are better books out there these days that do this better, like the Charles Osgood books "Funny Letters from Famous People" and the book "Consumer Joe: Harassing Corporate America". Try those if you're looking for really funny letters.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lazlo Toth for Poet Laureate
Review: Lazlo Toth is back with more of his hilarious letters. This is his third book of letters to corporations, politicians, religious leaders and anyone else he feels like writing to. Lazlo is a funny as ever, but the responses he receives aren't as funny as in his other books. Most of the time, he just receives a form letter, if they bother to write back at all. Still, a very funny book, if you share Don Novello's absurd sense of humor.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: This is a wonderful book because it defines, just like the two previous ones, the true character of America (and Americans). It's subtle, funny, and meaningful. Buy it.
