Publisher's summary

Okay, you've decided to pick up my program, but you're not ready to commit. You're reading this copy, hoping to get a preview - a taste of what's to come before you plunk down actual cash. I respect that. I would do the same thing myself.

But here's the problem: it's a screen. You can't describe a whole 3-hour long program on this screen - look how little space there is. I will tell you this, though: Couplehood is about all the stuff that's good and bad about being part of a couple. It's pretty funny. My wife laughed. You'll understand it because I wrote it specifically for you. (And I'm not just saying that.) The price is reasonable, especially if you compare it to what it would cost you to take time off from work and produce your own audiobook. Worse comes to worst, after you've listened you can say, "Well, it was kind of tedious, but I certainly enjoyed that copy on the screen." There does that help?

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.

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!!!

Take a pass on this one

I read this book years ago when it first came out in print. I remember reading it cover to cover in a single day because I enjoyed it so much. So, I thought it would be fun to read it again on my iPod. After the first hour I turned it off and couldn't remember what I ever liked about it at all. As much as I like Paul Riser, I don't really care for the way he reads the book, and it doesn't help that the audio quality is so bad. I mean so bad that I'm still not convinced it was actually Paul Riser reading the book. You really can't tell for sure! In my opiniion, don't waste your time on this one. Sorry Paul.

Just not that funny

I'm not sure why this is entitled Couplehood as there is very little about couples in it. He will start a chapter with a brief scenario of a couple then go off on a tangent of mediocre comedy. Not what I was expecting at all.
