loved it

I have always liked Paul Reiser but this book just made me love him. A lot of the situations here I already knew from Mad About You, but I still enjoyed it ever so much. And the fact that he himself read it made it even better.

Amazing

Paul Riser is at the level of the best: Seinfeld, Pryor, Gaffigan. I loved the audiobook!!!

SUPER funny, HORRIBLE sound quality

One of the funniest things I've listened to, maybe because I can relate to so much of it. Only drawback was the file sounded like Paul was in a tin can at the bottom of a well in the middle of a mountain at the bottom of the sea. Did I mention the sound quality was bad?

Better every listen

Paul Reiser is the only person who could do this funny and insightful book justice. His delivery keeps you laughing while his observations are so familiar you can’t help but to think he’s got a camera in every house in the country. I think anyone who has ever been a serious relationship will get this book and Paul’s unique and hysterical perspective.

I had those very same thoughts

It was relatable, funny, easy to listen to his voice and I didn’t want it to end.
