Format:Hardcover
Jon Stewart, a comedian worthy of the high praise he is receiving for his work on The Daily Show on Comedy Central, has put together a book, a book in name only because it is more of a collection of very short stories, that while quite funny at times, falls far short of what I have come to expect from this intelligent, irreverant funnyman. Please don't get me wrong, the book is worth buying and reading just for the sake of the few great chapters (The Cult, The Devil and William Gates, and Revenge Is a Dish Best Served Cold). Give it a read and I think you'll be glad you did, but don't expect this to be the funniest book you've ever read or you will be sorely disappointed.

This book is most definetely the funniest book that I have ever read. Stewart is not only right on target with his witty essays, skits, and dialogues, but he is not afraid to get his hands dirty. Nothing is sacred in the book, with a supposed journal from a waiter at The Last Supper, a tip section entitled Martha Stewart's Vagina, and an annual Christmas news letter from the Hanson family. I was rolling on the ground! Stewart is the most clever of the new generation of comics emerging into the public eye.

Jon Stwart once again proves himself to be one of the funniest comiedians working today (for those of you who have not seen his HBO special UNLEAVENED, you are missing out one one of the the most hysterical stand-up specials ever put on television). This series of essays ranging from the satirical to the downright silly is surely one of the funniest books in the last ten years. While Stewart's sometimes dry wit and plentiful vulgarity may offend some, those readers who are not offended by such material should immediately check this book out. Warning: for those who are easily offended, there is an essay entitled "Martha Stewart's Vagina"-don't say you weren't warned. This book should appeal to those who think that Stewart is always hilarious (such as myself), as well as those who enjoy light reading, because the book is only about 160 pages. As a man who loves Jon Stewart, I urge you to immidiately buy this book.

A book worth buying
I thought this book was very funny and was more than worth the money I paid for it. It has some dull parts, but the good parts are well worth the bad ones.
