While it made made laugh out loud about every third page, I think it a bit limiting to refer to this as a book of Comedy only. There is more truth in a lot of what Carlin says than possibly even he realizes, and certainly a great deal more than any of our so-called leaders spout forth on a regular basis. The negativity abounds, or at least what seems to be Negativity. Carlin shows that what is often considered bad or unkind, is, simply put, true. Unless you just can't stand swear words, read this book!
