Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

"Humor is ageless, timeless, and always within reach," author/reader Green reminds us. She asserts that her main qualification for writing about humor is that she has been a mother for 178 years, the combined ages of her five children. Green insists that a spirit of love and playfulness sustained her household. She encourages the use of humor with hospital and nursing home patients, and, fittingly, she is a national consultant on healthcare and humor. Each of us has the capacity to understand humor and the lifelong chance to build on it, she says. Green then mentions some of the habits of highly cheerful people, such as collecting cartoons and jokes to share with family and friends. This excellent and practical self-help title is a welcome relief from the usual depressing fare. Highly recommended for public libraries.?Ravonne, Green, Emmanuel Coll. Lib., Franklin Springs, Ga.

2.0 out of 5 stars Read the book - don't buy the tape., February 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Making Sense of Humor: How to Add Joy to Your Life (Audio Cassette)

Content is excellent - but a professional narrator would have made the tape far more interesting. Lila Green speaks so slowly and unnaturally that it acts as a serious distraction to the valuable material she is trying to present.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor narration; pointless content, April 9, 2002

This review is from: Making Sense of Humor: How to Add Joy to Your Life (Audio Cassette)

I listened to the first half hour of the tape before turning it off and throwing it away. The narration is awful and the content (if you can call it that) is non-existent. You're much better off purchasing something like the "Pretty Good Joke Tape."
