Customer Reviews

Funny, Entertaining, and Clever

Siegel and Gould have taken sophisticated humor to a new height. Even if you are not Jewish, have never attended a Bar Mitzvah, or have not seen the movie 'Goodbye Columbus', I think you will still appreciate the humor.The jokes are not always simplistic - and that is what makes them so much more appreciated. These are not stand-up routines, rather, they are well-thought out pieces of prose.The Unorthodox Book of Jewish Records & Lists is obviously patterned after the 'book of lists'/'guiness world record' genre, and does a great job within the Jewish humor world.I highly recommend this book! It is certainly on MY list of books to buy, give as a presents, etc.
