    Love, Love This Man!

    I love, love, love this man! He does say what you are thinking whether you want to admit it or not. He isn't trying to push his ideas or thoughts on you but he sure does make you think. It was a great read & entertaining!

    Funny Voice of Reason

    George Carlin has a very funny way of ripping the facade off the face of what's going on around us. Harsh, even crude at times, but worth reading and quoting.

    A must read for those not afraid of comedy with no barriers

    Hilarious read!! Carlin fans should love this book, those that offend at the slightest joke should not read this one. His comments on religion are almost as funny as the very belief systems he mocks!

    Pork Chops are made out of Pork. Thank You

    Great humor about everyday things that no one else has said before or at least made it funny.

    It is what everyone thinks, but is afraid to admit.

    The truth stings a little but if you listen to the message with an open mind, you will be saved! Enjoy and learn!

    Best Carlin Ever!

    Carlin, as usual, rips on everyone, not just the right or left, or the politically correct. Assumptions are challenged. Sacred cows are shredded into hamburger, then grilled to perfection and served with a generous helping of sarcasm.

    Philosophy at it's Best

    Like the previous George Carlin books, this one has made my mind set alot different. Each time I read one of his books I look at the world/culture/society in a different way. This isnt something you want to read if you dont like the truth or if you are someone that George critisizes (Liberalists, Feminists, ect). As for the previous comment that 'Kim' made about it being better to burn, well she is probably one of those people.

    Hilarious - Controversial - Edgy

    Once again Carlin holds no punches. He challenges societies norms, encouraging all of us in his own way to make a difference. I find his message to be powerful, passionate and a touch depressing. However, he lessens the sadness with his brilliant comedic touches. Once again Mr. Carlin Thank You for sharing your brilliance and passion with us.

    The best book Carlin has released yet

    Like his previous two books, 'When will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?' is all you could want from Carlin and more. The humor and wit is second to none; there wasn't a subject he wasn't willing to cover.

    Rollicking humor!

    Great laughs from cover to cover! As ever, Carlin's powers of observation and sense of word play make us see the world in a totally different way. A great read!`

    Not one of his better efforts

    It seems like Carlin phoned this one in, trading in his insightful, witty wordplay for cynical grumpiness, sprinkled with some random, disjointed musings.

    For a better experience of his true genius, try Brain Droppings and Napalm And Silly Putty.

    a bitter old man who used to be funny....

    That was a long time ago. George Carlin's ramblings are truly pathetic now. No longer funny his writings are sad, dark and sometimes frightening.He seems to hate everyone and everything...I hope he is in therapy...What happened George?

    Hey Carlin! -- what the heck?

    What the heck happened to George Carlin? The imposter who wrote this book is no where near as funny. Most of this book is either the ramblings of a crotchity old man or amateur jokes. Too Bad.

    Not as good as the first two

    If you're looking for a great followup to Brain and Napalm this book falls short. Carlin seems to not hit below the belt like he used too. His attacks seem almost watered down. Still a good read, but not up to par with the first two.

    Humorous....NOT

    If you enjoy reading lots of four letter words about crude subjects that fly in the face of human decency, then this is the book for you. Personally, I found it to be anything but humorous. There's much better comedy out there than what is offered up in this book.
