 Lacking in Spots, but funny throughout December 4, 2008
I've enjoyed almost everything Lewis Black has done. I couldn't wait to read this book. It wasn't as great as I had hoped though. It is funny, don't get me wrong. It doesn't stray from his stand up routine at all. I just found it lacking. I guess I had hoped that the book would be more personal, sort of a memoir and comedy combined. What I found was that it contained far more of his comic bits from stand-up, as well as a few funny bits about the nature of religion in general. I did laugh, but not all the time. There's parts that fall flat, chapters that are thin, and the ending for me was a downer. I still recommend it to read if you are a Lewis Black fan, but I think this book could have been so much more.
Forty essays (193 pages) plus and old play script (37 pages) November 12, 2008
Some of the essays are funny but too many not so much. If there is a central idea in all these diverse essays, it is that the fear of death is the root of religion and humor. But too many of the essays seem to stand alone disconnected. For example, the extremely short essay on Islam was the perfect place where Lewis Black could have elaborated in a humorous way, of course, on the complex interplay of fear of death and humor (or the lack of it in this instance) and religion. But no such effort is made to pull this "book" together into a more cohesive whole.
 Don't waste my time October 25, 2008
To be fair, I didn't read the whole book. Did it ever get funny? This is what I image happens when you mix too many chemicals and a typewriter. The first couple of chapters were just a waste of time and I moved on to better things. This guy does not belong in the company of the great Stewart and Colbert. Infantile.
 He does it again October 18, 2008
Lewis Black does it again. He may step on a few(?) toes but he tells it like it is, something our goverment has a problem doing.
hysterical!!! September 30, 2008
Totally hysterical. I love it.
I'd marry Lewis Black if I could meet him.
I'd live an extra 20 years just from the benefits of his humor.
