Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - I wish I could give this book 0 stars
This is the worst book I have ever read. It tries to be funny and somewhat informative but fails miserably on both counts. It takes less than an hour to read. It seems as if it were written in about that amount of time.If the author has any decency he would refund my money.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Service
I placed my order and it arrived in a few days. This book was purchased for a Christmas present and the recipient thought it was great. Great service!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just Plain Fun
Allen Salkin is the most creative, quirky writer today. He takes Festivus and gives us a super clean, fun holiday that "the rest of us" can enjoy. Particularly if you can't stand the holidays, you can turn to Festivus - it's like group therapy for holiday nay-sayers. But I love Salkin's writing and follow his work closely. I suggest you dig into this fantastic piece of work, and by the way, it's a GREAT stocking stuffer too!!





Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not funny
Wow, did Allen Salkin get lucky. He must be related to Jerry Stiller or something. From his writing, I'd say that JS's involvement is the only reason he got a book deal.

This book reads like a 9th grade term paper-- and a poor one at that.

What a lame book!




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Unfunny and banal
Not the worst book I've read this year, but in the bottom 20%, this allegedly humorous tome explores a generally faux holiday. Plotlines from old sitcoms generally don't make for the most inspired book, that's why there's not a book about Lucille Ball running amok in a factory.

I don't begrudge the authors for attempting to jump on the Seinfeld bandwagon, but guys - that bandwagon left the station 4 years ago.
