Review title: Not As Funny As It Could Be
Product review: Rakoff was a highly depressed man, and this book overflows with that energy. Unfortunately, it comes out neither as funny as I think he hoped, nor as profound as he hoped. It is merely a collection of essays about his experiences in New York, which don't seem to cohere or accomplish anything such as amuse, inform, inspire, or move one to think. They're well written, but to what end?
