Rude Behavior- Yes it is!

If you are not a Dan Jenkins fan or strongly oppose "Archie Bunker" bigotry, this novel may not be for you. Jenkins does however weave an interesting tale of the NFL. Far fetched at times very funny at others Jenkins will leave the reader and avid football fan scratching his head, wondering if this is how the NFL is run. The novel is a bit lengthy and is slow at the beginning. However Jenkins mixes football (both fictional and historical) with hollywood, social issues and political correctivness. Bring back the cast from "Semi-Tough" was great for the reader, but might of lost the new reader. The book is not quite as funny as "You Got To Play Hurt", which would be a better buy for the new Jenkins reader. However if you like Dan Jenkins, football and aren't easily offended this one is a must read.

Jenkins at his best

Perhaps his funniest book yet. I didn't think You Gotta Play Hurt could be topped, but I'm taking my time finishing Rude Behavior because I don't want it to end.

Dan Jenkins has surpassed himself...again !!!

Yes, I too am a Dan Jenkins addict and I hope there is no cure. Rude Behavior is supra-classic Jenkins packed with one-liners, great characters, and an ending that is disappointing ONLY in the fact that you know the wait for his next book has started again. This is not a read for those who believe in politically correct language or situations. But, for the rest of us who wish to have fun, laugh out loud while reading, and wonder how Jenkins continues to maintain his high (or low depending on your point of view) standards,we know he has written his best book...so far.

Dan Jenkins is a National Treasure.

For those of us who treat Dan Jenkins books as classics of modern literature, this one fits right in. Actually, I have a couple of problems with it. First, it should have come out two years ago so we could be waiting on another one. Second, as a minister, I can't tell most of the jokes, they're consigned to stay in my memory (i.e. "He couldn't hold on to a football if it was lodged in his rectum." Classic line, but hardly pulpit stuff). Great book.
