Absolutely hilarious:
I have purchased dozens of copies of this book because each time I buy one, I end up giving it to someone. It is THAT funny. Any one who is part of a Jewish family will recognize characters and traits in this book. It warm-hearted and right on.
I quickly lost interest - just not funny:
I seldom give up so fast on a book of humor, but after 20 pages, I had enough. Raised only one slight chucle, and I found the humor rather obvious and not clever.
Hilarious!:
I am not Jewish, but have a mixed heritage including "some Jewish". This book cracked me up when I realized just how much the "Jewish side" had in common with the "Italian side"! I bought this book in 1992 (!!) for a girlfriend living in a VERY Gentile suburbia. We just had a "girlfriends" reunion last weekend - & she brought the book with her! I think that pretty much says it all!
Molly's great:
This is a very enjoyable book that is re-read so many times & shown to friends for discussions. I think this is a 'must' for your library. The long, sour review is a sign of PC running amok - get over it!
