FASCINATING READING ABOUT WHAT MAKES THESE PEOPLE TICKBy Michel BrotmanThis is a positive review; but I'm going to start with a word of caution: The cover of the book says it all. The author explains the history and influences that makes our favorite comedians tick. While there are lots of laughs in these words; this is a very studious and serious analysis of how the history of Jews has impacted their humor. If you're looking for a whole bunch of Jewish humor; you're looking in the wrong place.Nonetheless; this was a fabulous read for smart people. It explains in wonderful detail the method and thinking and history of the icons of humor in America; Jewish or not. But the reason for four instead of five stars is the depths the author went to in making his point. At times; the amount of detail put me to sleep. This is a great book to read before your next dinner party. Tons of great antidotes about the comedy heroes that I want to tell all my friends!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. All Good.By Paul HerzoffBook. As described. Delivered. All Good.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting BookBy Linda RubensteinI bought the book because it was recommended by the book club at my synagogue. While the book is interesting; Mr. Epstein make huge leaps in conclusions. Some of what he says appears to have been pulled out of thin air. I would not read it again.
