I've always loved Lionel's talk radio show, so I was excited when I heard he was finally writing a book. It does not disappoint. The book is funny and insightful in a way that reminds me of George Carlin at his best. Lionel has always been a smart, independent thinker, and those assets have translated well to the printed page. I highly recommend this book.

Since I really like his radio show, I really liked his book. In the book (of course) he gets to use blue language which he uses to accentuate what he probably sounds like when talking in his public personna off mike. The book addresses some of his thoughts, opinions, and conclusions very well. It isn't a story or continuous diatribe but just some writing on various subjects of interest to him and his fans.

As a huge fan of the Lionel Show I could not wait for his book to arrive.
Anyone who is a fan of witty,intelligent humor will enjoy this read.
Lionel's political observations are unmatched in their sensibility and honesty.
Pick up a copy and listen to the show and you will be addicted as I am!

A clever mind usually makes for a decent observational book, and this is no exception. It's tempting to brand his as "part Geroge Carlin, part Dave Barry", but, in the end, he's all Lionel.

He touches on many of the topics near and dear to him on his radio show (9am-noon on WWRC 1260am here in Washington DC)- the first ammendment, god, gender and sexual issues, and the like.

Not a perfect book but a nice effort; I enjoyed it.

I love this book and have loaned it to other people who also love it! Highly recommend if you have a good sense of humor and common sense and its an easy read!
We need more books from you Lionel!!!

I had never heard of Lionel or his talk show. My husband purchased this book on kindle. It is a very witty book. His topics are clever. I don't know if "conservatives" will like it, but this fake liberal did.

I've been a Lionel fan for many, many years!
This book is a great read, makes a perfect gift for grad or dad.
Should be required reading... well, perhaps not, but, it's a fun book!
Be warned, Lionel is a self-described etymologist, a philologist, and a logophile; you might want to have a dictionary close by as you read the book.

I darn near fell off the couch b/c i was laughing so hard. This is a GREAT book!!

Lionel's hilarious, fun observations on life, liberty and oddities offers a fun set of reflections from a former prosecutor who examines national justice and its fallacies. Any who would enjoy pointed, quirky commentary on American political and social ills, and any who have enjoyed Lionel on his syndicated TV show The Lionel Show, will find this a fun read. General-interest libraries will find it a popular lend.

Insightful. Witty. Fun. The short chapters make it a fun book to read for the person with a busy schedule. Provocative, yet funny. You will look at things a bit differently after you read this book. An amalagam of Sedaris, Barry, and Will. Lionel demonstrates his unique combination of intellect, pragmatism, and humor. I can not wait for the sequel!
