Negative Positive
Title: The title is too flattering.
Review: Growing up, every time I heard George Carlin's name, I would think of his consistent and shockingly hilarious acts. Reading through the first half of this book, I came across some shades of vintage Carlin, however, I had to sometimes skim some very mediocre material in order to ferret out such sections. Finally, I got tired of skimming the uninspired (something I don't think one should feel compelled to do when reading a humor book). Out of fairness, I admit I haven't read the second half of the book yet, but I'm not so sure I will. If you're expecting something similar to "The Rants", "Sein Language", or even Paul Reiser's first book, forget it.
