Customer Reviews

Light-hearted mostly American Jewish lists

There is no end to making lists, and certainly no end to making lists about the Jews. In this work Samberg takes the lighter road, and very much the American - Jewish one. He has sixty events about American- Jewish history , and long lists about Jewish comedians, but he has nothing about Jewish religious thinkers or about turning points in the life of modern Israel. In other words this is a kind of peek and skim work which can provide information and amusement, but not serious instruction.

good and fun

This book is one that can keep the attention of anyone. It is filled with interesting and fun facts. It is very enjoyable that even my 17 year old son and my 70 year old mother enjoyed it. Pick this book up and if you do manage to put it down, you'll pick it back up any chance you get. It is an easy read, but if you like fun humor and interesting facts, this is the book for you.
