Customer Reviews

Stranger than Truth...

As a non-Jew with Jewish friends, I found it highly entertaining, but it does seem to have annoyed a few people. To me, the whole Jewish Conspiracy issue comes down to one question... If the Jews run the World and always have, how come Israel is the Whipping Boy of the United Nations?

Neuman and Deutch hit a proverbial home run!

"The Big Book of Jewish Conspiracies" is hip, erudite, edgy, and, above all, hysterically funny. From "The Book of Profits" to "Let My People Go . . . On Longer Lunch Breaks" to "There's No Business like Shoah Business," Neuman and Deutsch use their keen knowledge of human history and human nature to puncture every myth promulgated by anti-Semitism throughout the ages. And oy, those footnotes!!

Mel Brooks Couldn't Have Done It Better

I noticed this book the week it came out and I couldn't help but buy it-- I finished the entire thing in one hilarious sitting. The book is everything that a satire on Jewish hatred should be. And most importantly as with any good humor, especially satire, the authors-- the unapologetically Jewish and cool David Deutsch and Josh Neuman-- use acutally history to further their art. Every chapter is like opening up a new piece of the textbook you're hebrew teacher didn't want to read. Go out and get it. I must also say, that I just recieved the newest issue of Heeb Magazine--this time it is the Sex Issue-- and it is just as scandously awesome as we would expect from those Heebsters.

Great Book

This book is a hilarious send-up of those omnipresent Jewish conspiracies that have been on the lips of gentiles the world over for thousands of years, as well as the whole "Big Book" phenomenon that is so prevalent in Jewish literature (and I use the term "literature" lightly). The writing is quite funny- the snarkiness and tongue-in-cheek attitude that makes Heeb Magazine so good is even better here. Definitely check this book; there's nothing like it. Challah back!

Much Needed Breath of Fresh Air

For all those who are sick of the PC cookie-cutter social norms we are crushed under, it is about time you pick up this book. What better way to detach yourself from the hypersensitivity of the world landscape than to read the witty, dangerously academic, satirical analysis of Jewish conspiracies? This book is not only hilarious, it is practically a treatise about the phenomenon of myth and flies in the face of political correctness with tongue-in-cheek flair. A must-read.
