Surprisingly good.

David Brenner is a well-known comedian of course, but hisbook goes beyond quick humor. He also displays a formitableintelligence and the ability to honestly analyze our everydaysituations, including our problems with national security,diversity, race relations, language, etc., all while havingfun, and he is able to convey in his book both that intelligence and humor.Given his reputation as a quick-witted humorist on TV, and inclubs, his down-to-Earth ability to grasp our most basic concerns is both surprising and enlightening.Brenner does a first-class job of entertaining the reader withthis book, while also addressing mundane concerns. He hasa very funny book that nearly everyone will enjoy.

Funny, Despite Uncharactersitic Gushing Over President Bush

Brenner is funny and insightful -- always has been -- and this book is a continuation of his previous memoir/humor books. I was stopped cold by his gushing over George W. Bush -- especially after he spends a considerable amount of time illustrating the President's extreme difficulty is making impromptu intelligent statements. It is uncharacteristic of Brenner to produce fawning praise over the President's ability to read a speechwriter's phrase. That aside, it is timely and funny.
