Ranting Again [Abridged, Audiobook] [Audio Cassette]

Dennis Miller (Author, Reader)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 1998

Dennis Miller is back, and he is Ranting Again in this hilarious compendium of wit, wisdom, and righteous outrage.  This is good news for all of us who fume at the country's lack of common sense, and seethe at the absurdity of the daily headlines.

Setting his sights higher and wider than ever before, Dennis Miller is at the top of his game in a biting and rowdy performance that unleashes his unique brand of scathing wit on anything and everything.  Taking on such targets as illegal immigration, the sobriety movement, the American school system, and men who wear tight T-shirts even though they have big tits, Miller proves that nobody is safe from his hilarious yet hard-hitting scrutiny.

Showcasing Dennis Miller's trademark rapid-fire delivery and his blend of wide-ranging allusions, thought-provoking insights, and outrageous opinions, Ranting Again is a brilliant collection and a unique display that is his sharpest and funniest yet.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

"Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here, but I'm glad my single days are over." So begins Dennis Miller's animated performance of Ranting Again, the second collection of "rants" culled from his popular HBO show, Dennis Miller Live. This audio version begins with a short jazz introduction and each installment is punctuated by another short musical riff. No one and nothing is safe from Miller's scorn. He targets animal rights, the American education system, lawyers, bad drivers, and white people. Miller's familiar, raspy delivery will grab you from the get-go. "I mean, c'mon, singles bars? Do you know how hard it was for me to keep a straight face while some stoner broad told me what she thought Pink Floyd meant on The Dark Side of the Moon?" A pleasure to listen to? Well, some of it is over the top, but anyone familiar with Dennis Miller's signature style of humor will be more than satisfied with this delicious audio treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bathroom book....., September 9, 1999

By 

Seth H. Bokelman - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ranting Again (Paperback)

This is the perfect book to leave lying around your bathroom. You'll hear guests chuckling to themselves when they go to use your can, I guarantee it! It's not the kind of book you want to read in one sitting, his rants are the perfect length for a short stay on your commode, and funny enough to keep you entertained if you're not going anywhere for a while.

Dennis Miller is either a love him or hate him kind of guy. I find his commentary brilliant and incisive. If you love his brand of humor, I would snap this book up. If you don't like him...go ahead; give him a try again...you know you want to!

This is one of the few books that I consistantly laugh out loud while reading, but it does give you pause to think. (Those who say smoking won't kill you are lying through the hole in their trachea) I find that social commentary delivered with a good dose of humor often is the best way to make ones point without seeming preachy. Miller is the King of this arena. He definitely understands the workings of American society, warts and all, and can absolutely hit the nail on the head every time.

This is a book that manages to deftly walk the fine line of making you think AND entertaining you.

Although Miller is at His satirical best;His structured delivery on every subject starts to get boring halfway through the book.He injects different celebrities in the same old spots and it becomes a mantra after awhile.'I dont want to rant but Dennis baby,find a new free form formula!"
