Summary: My Bible!
Review: I re-read this book every time I enter a new serious relationship! So it's been read a few times. Then there are times when I'll just be bored and see it sitting in my shelf and read it because I think it's the funniest book I have ever read! I have loaned it to people who have loved it and I have read it aloud to my significant other on long train rides. It's almost always with me!

Okay, so basically it's Paul Reiser talking about his experiences with his wife in their day-to-day lives. But unlike some people, I dont think it's that much like 'Mad About You' (his old TV show). I like to think of it as a standalone product personally.

It's one of those things you just laugh yourself stupid and then say "My god, it's so funny because it's true!". For example, 'I don't care yhow sensative you think you are, if you're making love, and you freeze-frame the action, at any given second, one of the two people is thinking: "I hope this feels good for You because I got a cramp you wouldn't believe...'

I didnt like Babyhood as much, but then again, I'm not a father yet. I really wish he would do another book.

Summary: Laugh out loud
Review: I really enjoyed this book, but I wouldn't say I loved it.
It was really funny to see a guy's perspective on women and relationsips, and I could see myself in some of his stories. It is a good light read.

Summary: Very funny!
Review: I was laughing out loud several times! It is very funny. My wife and I would say "Yes, this has happened to us".

We are fans of "Mad About You", and this book in some ways reflects the show. It is written as a stand-up act. It talks about situations couples face, starting a little from the dating and going through a tiny part of having a baby. It also includes a lot of general comments, not strictly related to couples.

Highly recommended, a relaxing book. It even helps you to say "they are all the same" when you notice how similar some situations are to your own. That can be quite therapeutic sometimes.

Summary: Funniest book I've ever read!
Review: In this book, Paul Reiser is as funny as he is on "Mad About You", if not funnier. You'll laugh from cover to cover, and when you're finished, you'll read it again. That's what I did. It'll make you realize the power of love and why we crave it so much. Whether you're in a relationship, was in a relationship, or want to be in a relationship, this book is your bible. It's a perfect present for couples who are about to get married and I highly recommend it to everyone

Summary: An amusing look at relationships
Review: This is a light, fluffy read. While it is funny, it really just brushes the surface of its subject matter and never tackles them at any great depth. In a way this is a shame, as relationships provide so many opportunities for stories. This book was clearly intended to take advantage of the success of Reiser's television show, but doesn't provide any additional insights or much in the way of new material. I enjoyed it as a distraction, but I'm glad I wasn't looking for anything thought provoking.

Summary: The Perfect Gift for an Engaged Couple
Review: This is a very fun book. I picked it up on a lazy weekend while staying at someone's house during an out-of-town speaking engagement. I have never laughed so hard. Reiser's no-holds-barred humor hits the mark and is a should be read together by couples. His observations of the nuances of marriage make this the ultimate engagement gift. To date, my wife and I have sent a dozen or so newly-engaged couples a copy of this gem.

Summary: Funny, but only 10% about couples and relationships
Review: This was a funny book about relationships. Everyone should be able to relate to this book at some point or another.

Summary: Hysterical and right on the money!
Review: You can almost hear Paul Reiser's vocal inflection as you read the book, and it makes it even funnier (unlike some books by other comedians whose humor just doesn't translate to books). I saw myself and my significant other in several of his bits and just laughed myself silly the whole way through. Even if you get tired of watching Mad About You, you'll still enjoy this book. I'm going to go read it again.
