Negative Positive
Title: Fans will be disappointed. All others amused.
Review: Having been a huge follower of his work, I've heard just about every monologue he's ever done. I first heard of this book when he went on the radio promoting it as the material he might not live to deliver. Sad to say, it isn't. Most of the book is rehashed material from his old performances and are jumbled about in the form of disjointed, unrelated one-liners that are too forced to be funny.On occasion, he falls back into form and begins new rants in his classic outrageous style, but these moments are brief, occupying maybe 10% of the book. The whole debacle left me feeling like I had just watched a rerun of his tv show where he tried too hard to be funny and ended up caging the comic madman that he truly is. This book makes Carlin seem like a profane Dave Barry.
