A neurotic Jew who totally identified with "Jewtopia":
Personally, I found "Jewtopia" to be laugh out loud funny. As a professional comedy writer, I know how subjective "funny" can be. That's why the funniest movies and plays, before final release, have had umpteen "sneak previews"-- to gauge-- and re-write or edit out those lines that fall flat before an audience. Like most of my discriminating friends in this crazy, predominantly Jewish "business"-- most of us are a "tough laugh" in regard to what is "funny."

I laughed at Moses's diary...:
...but it was uneven. While it was well-written, certain passages made me wince. Among the wince-inducing was the claim that Jews don't give to charity. Jews are among the big donors, both to Jewish and general charities. Also, the (mis)use of the term "Reformed" to refer to a denomination of Judaism. The authors, or at least their editors, should know by now that it's Reform. No "ed". Could take it or leave it. Certainly wouldn't recommend it.
FAB!!:
This book is funny. Really, really funny. But, there's something else to Jewtopia, and that is that it puts you in touch with your Judaism. Yes, you're going to laugh out loud over and over, but you're also going to feel proud to be a Jew, you're going to feel righteous anger at the bigotry we've sustained for freaking ever, and you're going to feel a sense of power in the rightness of who we are. I recommend this book to everyone, but especially to the other chosen people out there. L'Shalom
great laughs:
Jewtopia is a good read even if you aren't Jewish. The insights into the Jewish mindset are priceless and will have you laughing out loud. You will moe than likely recognize yourself if you are a Jew or if not then you'll recognize your Jewish friends.
