Customer Reviews

An entertaining trail to sanity.

Lionel has the unique ability to make you think and learn -- his book does both while, at the same time, making you laugh. I have been a ferociously dedicated fan of talk radio for all of my many later adult years. I used to seek out one host for his intelligence and insight, another for his humor, and yet another for his delightfully daft take on events. And then when Lionel came along, for the first time in my life I could do one stop shopping. I would refer to him as the Rush Limbaugh for the sane, but would not want to offend Lionel by the camparison."

Everyone's Crazy Except You and Me...And I'm Not So Sure About You: America's Favorite Contrarian Cu

Insightful. Witty. Fun. The short chapters make it a fun book to read for the person with a busy schedule. Provocative, yet funny. You will look at things a bit differently after you read this book. An amalagam of Sedaris, Barry, and Will. Lionel demonstrates his unique combination of intellect, pragmatism, and humor. I can not wait for the sequel!

Review of Lionel's Book

Since I really like his radio show, I really liked his book. In the book (of course) he gets to use blue language which he uses to accentuate what he probably sounds like when talking in his public personna off mike. The book addresses some of his thoughts, opinions, and conclusions very well. It isn't a story or continuous diatribe but just some writing on various subjects of interest to him and his fans.

Great Read!

As a huge fan of the Lionel Show I could not wait for his book to arrive. Anyone who is a fan of witty,intelligent humor will enjoy this read. Lionel's political observations are unmatched in their sensibility and honesty. Pick up a copy and listen to the show and you will be addicted as I am!

Up there with the best of the genre

I've always loved Lionel's talk radio show, so I was excited when I heard he was finally writing a book. It does not disappoint. The book is funny and insightful in a way that reminds me of George Carlin at his best. Lionel has always been a smart, independent thinker, and those assets have translated well to the printed page. I highly recommend this book.
