Title: don't judge this book by its cover
Product review: You have to go out of your way to find any humor here. After the first 50 pages, most readers will conclude "been there, done that." There's a level of detail about "the guys in the room," stories of successes and failures along the way, the standard smattering of back-stabbing and swipes at the network guys, etc. that even die hard fans of the show will find tough going. The fact that there is very little insight here into the cast and even less about Ray Romano (if it's possible to write any book about this how without him this one is it) doesn't help. Rosenthal comes across as an undoubtedly nice guy who is indeed lucky but seems to devote most of these pages to reminding himself that he is all of those things plus how much he loves everyone on the show and all the neat people he's gotten to meet along the way--everything but funny.
