A world of Absurdity
Great delivery and read this book, if you feel like you are outside the hell that’s going on around you! He is observing our lives and laughing at our attempts to conquer the reality that is keeping us divided and down. But! Hysterically!

It is full of snarling sneering sarcasm and superiority.
Having read this book expecting to be amused and entertained it became clear that basic human respect has been replaced by subjecting any individual who the author finds fault with to criticism ridicule and humiliation for his own perverse enjoyment. The benefit of education is significant (it certainly taught me a lesson) so I will put it down to experience and ensure I research the quality of ( American humour? ) any publication praised by promoters.

Just like watching his specials, only in print...
A great book with some of the best material from George Carlin. I have been a huge fan of George's since his RCA and Little David album days. His ability to analyze the most obscure things in daily life, as well as mock, ridicule and skewer politicians, clergy, businessmen and others was absolutely priceless. Reading this book is like watching his specials all over again. If you're a fan like myself or just curious as to what made this man so successful, you have to get this book.
