listened on a car trip. It is read by Seinfeld. It less a book and more just a collections of his jokes and bits over the years. It was only 5 hours and I am sure that hearing him "read" his bits was much better than reading them myself. You were able to hear his inflections and timing. It is really like a 5 hour comedy show of just Seinfeld. It is a little interesting to hear how his jokes and observations change throughout the years. Toward the end even though I was laughing, especially after he had a wife and kids, he almost sounded like a mean old man. some of my favorite jokes were about parents angry at their children and doing the "shout whisper", WWF and pitching the idea of WWF, TSA agents, and the things that we ate as children mainly about breakfast cereal and pop tarts.

I took Jerry's audiobook along in the car. Laugh-out-loud funny, esp. for my husband. If you have
to drive along a boring route, nothing's better than having Seinfeld's stand-up jokes coming at
you to make time fly.

If you appreciate the Seinfeld TV Show, you'll enjoy this book. It's basically different/fuller or more developed iterations of many of the best jokes that were on the TV show. There's also a lot more from Jerry's stand-up routines. They're broken down by decade so it's interesting to see the development of his comedy.

If you’ve watched Seinfeld and his standup specials, there’s almost nothing new in this book. Some jokes were fun to revisit, but his constantly griping, negative tone gets old and grating.

I love Jerry and his humor. If you’re looking for strict standup, this is it. I selfishly wanted to know more about his life and what makes him tick and (because of this expectation / stupidly not reading the overview) was sorely disappointed.

My husband and I listened to this on a car ride home from Denver. It was laugh out loud funny. At one point I laughed so hard the sip of water came out all over the dashboard.

Seinfeld reads this himself, so it is like hearing him tell his bits in a comedy show--one after the other, so I would:
1) listen to it, not read it and
2) not listen to too much at once because it can be a lot of humor at once!
