Amazon.com Review

Book Description:
From Bryan Fogel and Sam Wolfson, the creators and stars of the national smash hit play, Jewtopia, comes the most hilarious, over-the-top guide to Judaism unlike anything you've ever seen. So comprehensive that owning a copy ensures that Elijah himself will show up at your Passover Seder!


Take a Tour of Jewtopia

--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From Publishers Weekly

The world of Jewish humor books is crowded but the style used by the authors of the play Jewtopia, including audio touches which show they understand the medium, gives this work some nice elbow room. Alternating as narrators, the authors present-among other things-a timeline of Jewish expulsions, a summary of each holiday, an investigation into the veracity of stereotypes, a travel guide for Jews, and conversations with (their own) Jewish mothers. Snippets of music, little sound effects-including the narrators saying "BING!"-and a sprinkling of short jokes add to the fun. Jews will find tips on blending in at a Gentile bachelor party and Gentiles will get lessons on ordering food in a restaurant like a Jew. Some of the shtick, such as Moses' diary during the forty years in the desert, doesn't work very well and intermittent overemphasized delivery sounds a bit like bad stand-up. However, for the most part this unique presentation will have listeners smiling in recognition, learning a thing or two, and possibly adding a laugh track. Simultaneous release with the Warner Books hardcover. (Reviews, Sept. 14).

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally hysterical!, December 2, 2006
This review is from: Jewtopia: The Chosen Book for the Chosen People (Hardcover)
Seriously -- this is one of the funniest books you'll ever see. Not for the "faint of heart", or anyone who can't laugh a little at themselves -- but if you can or you know anyone who truly appreciates a little self-deprecating humor, this is the perfect gift! Trust me, there's something in there for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book Just As Good As The Play!!, October 13, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jewtopia: The Chosen Book for the Chosen People (Hardcover)
Byran & Sam's book "Jewtopia" is a great read. It's so funny, and helps Jews see the great humor in our culture. From the Foreward and the History (Where It All Began) to the Conspiracy Theories, you are laughing out loud. I bought this book as a present to my 21 year-old sister but I'm reading this book first before I give it to her! This book is just as good as the play. I recommend "The Chosen Book for the Chosen People" to be on everyone's coffee table for many years to come!!

5.0 out of 5 stars FUNNIEST BOOK I'VE EVER LAID EYES ON!, September 26, 2006
By Glen Mintz "Glen" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jewtopia: The Chosen Book for the Chosen People (Hardcover)
WOW! LAUGH OUT LOUD AMAZING! I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life while reading a book. Bryan Fogel and Sam Wolfson have outdone themselves to create not only a visually arresting book, with tons of pictures and illustrations but a book that truly makes you laugh page after page after page. Thier history and travel chapters are absolutely brilliant! SO TRUE! What I loved most was that so much of the book was a ton of actual facts, that I found myself constantly thinking how clever the book was to be able to consistently find the humor. Their "guide to life" chapter with the "How to become a hollywood agent" and their version of the "Kama Sutra" are some of the funniest things I've ever seen on a page. This book is a KEEPER! A REAL GEM! It will go smack in the middle of my coffee-table for all my friends to see and enjoy. This is the book I'll be buying for everyone whenever I need a great funny and clever book to give to friends and family. Move over Mel Brooks! I think these guys might have you beat!
