Get ready to laugh out loud

If you have never read a book by Rita Rudner - now is your chance. But be ready to laugh out loud! Rita takes everyday situations and turns them into jokes, stories or essays. Everyone can relate to most of the stories in this book. She does not have to use vulgar language or other nasty words to get her point across. You will enjoy any of Rita's books that she has written over the years. But don't try drinking liquids while reading or you may snort drink out of your nose!!

I Still Have It...

Bought for mother. She loved it. Waiting to borrow it so I can read it.

Older but wiser...great humor.

I love Rita...she is so funny. I know living with her must be a real trip. This book gives you some funny images of her normal life as she sees it. Good read...more of a book on observations than a story type book, but this is a keeper..I enjoyed this on my Kimble.

An enjoyable read

I had not read anything by Rita Rudner before, though I have enjoyed her on-stage comedy. I was a bit skeptical before starting this book, as many comics are much funnier on stage than on the page. What a pleasant surprise to find that Ms. Rudner is a good writer, and her humor translates well to book form. I am also in my fifties and could identify with a lot that she mentioned. In addition to the humor, I was touched by the stories of her father's final days, and her dog Bonkers. I plan to look up her earlier books now, and hope that she plans another one soon !

SHE'S STILL GOT IT!

Rita hasn't gotten senile enough yet to have misplaced her sense of humor. She gives us a zany look into the world of a 30-year-old comedienne locked inside a fiftysomething body. She manages to find the zanyness (is that a word?) in the mundane, the absurdity in all our lives, and the humor in her pain. It's a fast, easy read and you'll love it! ...
