Amazon.com ReviewSeinlanguage could easily be subtitled The World According to Jerry. First published in 1993, when Seinfeld the sitcom was establishing itself as the funniest half-hour on television, this is a collection of Jerry's musings on everything from relationships to shushing in movie theatres. Observational comedy may have reached epidemic proportions recently, but Jerry Seinfeld was, and is, the master of his domain.
"I will never understand why they cook on TV. I can't smell it. Can't eat it. Can't taste it. The end of the show they hold it up to the camera, 'Well, here it is. You can't have any. Thanks for watching. Goodbye.'"
Eons hence, scholars may ponder the mysteries of this book in the same way that they now ponder the fragments of Heraclitus. Until then, Seinlanguage will continue to provide guaranteed chuckles in a neat and tidy package. Kind of like Jerry himself. --Simon Leake
Product DescriptionSeinfeld. For more than 33 million viewers, the Emmy Award-winning television show has become a Thursday night ritual. Even though the show has ended, Jerry Seinfeld's distinct brand of humor can still be yours.
In his #1 New York Times bestselling book, SeinLanguage, Jerry Seinfeld has captured on the page his views on topics ranging from Raisinettes to relationships, from childhood to cop shows, and from parents to power suits. This must-have book for all fans—and who isn't a fan?—remains available in both paperback and hardcover.
Great Service (Rating: 5 out of 5) Very fast delivery... book was mailed in the exact condition it was stated... will definitly be purchasing from this seller in the future.
really funny (Rating: 4 out of 5) Its so funny you can read it in a few hours. I hope Seinfeld writes another book because this one is very funny. I definetly recommend this book, it can make a good gift.
Decent (Rating: 4 out of 5) I'm not a fan of Jerry Seinfeld's standup comedy which I find ironic considering he is the only person on the show Seinfeld who isn't funny. But this book has quite a few laughs and if the stories aren't funny they are interesting. It's worth a penny for sure.
great (Rating: 5 out of 5) Classic Seinfeld. this is a book anyone can just pick up and read from any page and stop at any page. I am a teacher and sometimes I use the material in this book in my classes. My students love the jokes.
Seinfeld at his best! (Rating: 5 out of 5) If people truly can be broken into two groups, those who like Seinfeld and those who don't would be a great start. If you are a Seinfeld fan, the only reason I can think of that you would not like this book is if you have seen his standup routine so many times that you just cannot bear it again. Even then, that might not be enough as I have seen every Seinfeld episode at least ten times and still watch amusingly.
Seinfeld presents all his original material in SeinLanguage and it is hilarious. I found further delight from imagining Jerry's voice and expression in my head as I read through his words which put this book over the top for me.
If you want to laugh your butt off, and Seinfeld's witty observations resonate with you, buy this book. You will be very glad you did.
