This review is from: The Naked Jape: Uncovering the Hidden World of Jokes (Paperback)

The book doesn't directly teach the reader how to create jokes or how to improve his or her sense of humor. It doesn't contain any formulas. However, it delineates the history of humor. It discusses cross-cultural uses.

The book also provides a plethora of examples in the form of actual jokes. It contains hundreds of them.

The book would prove an enjoyable read to anyone who likes to chuckle at witty jokes or who strives to learn by assimilating historical examples to create jokes.
