To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
If you are a fan of Seinfeld it is ok...I had to read it in Seinfelds voice. Just some writings he found amusing. The book is only slightly amusing, not a rib tickler. Did not laugh out loud once. Disappointing.
4.0 out of 5 starsGood if you're a fan of Seinfeld and/or mechanics of comedy

I'm no comedian, but I enjoy peeking behind the curtain. Nice to see these bits laid out on paper, presumably representing the way Jerry has them written down freehand somewhere.
There's no commentary on the bits, but it's interesting (and funny) to read anyway. Nothing particularly new here, and I'd avoid this if you're not a fan of Jerry (but I can't imagine you'd be looking at it if you weren't).
It’s alright. Given the nature of the book a lot of the material has been published before. There’s some very good material, but it’s not the same without the delivery.

I purchased this expecting an Autobiography of Seinfeld's life. Sadly this is a compilation of his work from his stand up and the TV Show, including the same material from his first book. Was mildly amusing but not worth the money I paid. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this due to the price.

Not an Autobiography
