دو داستانش برام جالب بودن، یک دو سه جایی از کتاب هم لبخند زدم ولی خوب نبود در کل. طنزش بیشتر قسمت‌ها ساده و دم دستی بود به نظرم و من رو جذب نکرد.

As probably the only book I've read in 1 day (2 sittings!), this was simultaneously a nice break from my last 3 weeks surrounded by people & a rude awakening from my 3 weeks surrounded by people. (I only spoke to 3 humans today & 1 was a Chipotle cashier.)

And as expected, these stories made me laugh. :/
I feel abt Woody Allen the same way Shelby Cummings feels abt Sam Montgomery in that scene in A Cinderella Story where she's like, "Love the dress... hate her."
Love the writing... hate him.

He's shady as hell, but clever as hell too, dammit. The act of highlighting funny quotes in this book was balanced with the act of drawing red flags next to questionable ones. *sigh*
I did, at least, get it secondhand. Zero royalties to Mr. Allen! Thank you! <3

Generally not as strong as Getting Even, but the story The Kugelmass Episode alone makes this one worth the price of admission. So. Great.

Vocabulario muy complejo y a veces un poco snob. Durante el transcurso de las historias me reí pero el final siempre me dejó algo que desear. En fin. Un buen libro de humor si estás actualizado con New York y cultura en general.

I expected it to be 'laugh out loud' funny, but its humour it's a tad bit sophisticated, or maybe pretentious.
Some stories I enjoyed, most went over my head.
