There's is something truly unique about this book. I think it's the fact that it has the capability to make you laugh out loud. Speaking as someone who adores comedy in all forms (Seinfeld being one of these forms) this book is really pretty incredible.
At first glance, I admit, it doesn't look like much. You figure that it's going to be full of jokes you've heard hundreds of times on the TV shows. Although this is partially true (some of the jokes ARE from the TV series), there's is much more to this book than meets the eye.
First of all, it is truly laugh-out-loud funny. I received this book as a gift for Christmas and I read the whole thing that same morning. I sat in an easy chair in my living room and read and read and read. Not only that, I laughed and laughed and laughed. Which is something I never do when reading. Watching films, yes. Talking with friends, yes. But reading? Who laughs when their reading? Me, apparently.
I'm actually a little afraid to take this book out in public with me because I'm afraid I'll start giggling uncontrollably and people will think I'm off my rocker. So BEWARE. Read this book in the safety of your own home. Because trust me, you won't be able to keep from laughing. |

Seifeld's book is awesome. He writes in the form of his standup throughtout the book. His introspective humor is insightful and witty. The topics that he writes about go from everyday things to the compulsive and peculiar. In my opinion, his quirky humor is unique and very well crafted, almost poetic. Seinfeld is the voice of the compulsive perfectionist, weaving a satire of all of the foibles of people and the world. Seinlanguage is a wonderful book and highly recommended. But people must know that Seinlanguage is not a biography. It is a book of his standup routines and jokes. But nevertheless, Seinlanguage is a must read for any Seinfeld fan.

Long story short, Seinlanguage is basically Jerry Seinfeld's early stand-up comedy routine. Fans of the comedian and show should already be familiar with the material presented, while those who have not experianced his "observational comedy" will be introduced to his material. I suggest that those in the latter should give it a try, though, as the material is very funny. However, the book itself may be the wrong medium to be introduced to the material. I often found that, being a fan, i was laughing as I read simply because I remembered Jerry's act. To get a better experiance, rent his I'm Telling you for the Last Time video.

Jerry Seinfeld has to be one of the funniest comedians in the world. His hit show Seinfeld is off the air, but if you still want to catch some of his silly humor, check out this book. Since he was fifteen he has been writing down silly thoughts that came to mind. Now he collected all of his abstract writings and put them in a book. This book is very easy to read. The pages contain short little stories that happen to everybody throughout life and he adds his quick little humourous comments. A lot of it is straight from the show. At times I found myself laughing out loud. This book is basically in the setup as if Seinfeld was on stage doing a comedy bit for you. I found this book a humorous buy and went through it in two days. |

Diddja ever notice how Siskel & Ebert never gave the "One thumb up!"? That's odd, cause when I see someone, I never give him the TWO thumbs up at once, I mean, what will the guy think? One thumb is quite enough, don't you think? Let's stick to the review though... I am a huge Seinfeld fan (that's rare for a French Canadian!) and I read pretty much everything on Seinfeld-related topics. SeinLanguage, a collection of Seinfeld's stand-up bits, has become my own little bible. Honnest! Jerry is a very talented stand-up comedian and I literaly fell in love with his way of analyzing life's excrutiating minuatiae. He is very impressive. So, if it rains out there or if you're away and you miss someone, I strongly believe that "SeinLanguage" is the book to get a bright smile back on your face! Enjoy!

Seinlanguage is a perfect companion to the best sitcom of the 90s, and a must read for any true fan. Jerry's comedy may not seem perfectly suited for a book, but you'd be surprised how easily you can hear Jerry on every single page. A "celebrity book" at it's best. |

Some people have stated that the long-running Seinfeld sitcom was a show about nothing. Which is probably true, but largely irrelevant. A large amount of very good comedy is based on the incongruity of everyday events, which to some people is nothing. Seinfeld continues in this mode with the short vignettes in this book.
The stories vary from the problems of finding a parking spot in New York City to the absurdity of professional wrestling. Each is funny and demonstrates Seinfeld at his comedic best. He is the best at taking the everyday things of life and making them funny. I urge you to read and enjoy. |
