Product Description:
What are the secrets behind the creation of Larry David's hit show?
Fans can finally find out with this long-awaited
companion guide to the Golden Globe- and Emmy®
Award- winning series.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Book is complete with stories about Larry David's childhood, his roots as a stand-up comic, and his various writing jobs before the breakthrough of Seinfeld. Readers will enjoy dating stories from his bachelor years, discover how he met his future wife, Laurie David, and learn why Cheryl Hines was picked to play his TV wife. A highlighted map of Santa Monica shows locations where favorite Curb scenes were filmed, such as the Toyota of Hollywood where Larry works as a car salesman. Ever wonder if there's a story behind the creation of Krazee-Eyez Killa's infamous rap? There is, and it's in this book, along with the tale of the ordinary afternoon lunch where the idea for Curb Your Enthusiasm was first formed. Perhaps best of all, fans can finally see Larry David's original scene outlines-just a few sentences from which the actors improvise-which eventually evolve into the carefully edited comedy that we see on air.
After five hilarious seasons, Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Book offers fans an intimate view of the people, experiences, and stories behind one of television's funniest shows.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Book is filled with hilarious images, insights, and behind-the-scenes moments, including:
* Original interviews with and commentary from more than 100 cast and crew members, guest actors, comics, and friends and family, including Cheryl Hines, Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, and Richard Lewis
* An in depth, four-section interview with Larry David, covering everything from his childhood in Brooklyn to his emergence into the world of comedy and television.
* Never-before-seen outlines from the show that are the basis for episode storylines.
* Detailed episode guides for the show's first five seasons.
* More than 100 full-color photographs.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Calling all Curb fans!
This is the book for you - each fantastically funny episode is featured, with some with the actual outline notes written by Larry David himself! Also included are behind the scenes details such as unusual auditions and who-knew-who before filming. A fun, enjoyable read cover-to-cover.
Rating: - Pretty, pretty good.
This book is very well written; filled with interviews of the cast, his the writers, Larry David, his family and friends. Mr. David is an absolutely brilliant comic, and this book is laugh out loud funny. After reading it, you will find that LD is not only funny in a "ha-ha" sort of way, but funny in a "hmmmmmm, he's odd" sort of way.
The book is great, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Curb, Seinfield, or just wants to understand what makes Larry David so dang funny!
Rating: - Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Book
This is an awesome book. Anything Larry does is great and this is no exception. If you are a fan of the show, you will love this book.
An excellent gift to for someone who loves Curb....
Rating:  - Love the show, and the book is a nice supplement to it
I really love Curb Your Enthusiasm, the show, and the book seemed interesting. It is a great quick read (I think I went through it in about an hour and a half). It has interviews with Larry and the main cast members and then a synopsis of every episode up through season five. Each episode is given two pages in the book so that along with the synopsis, behind-the-scenes bullet points can be given. These were my favorite part of the book. What may be most frustrating is that the show appears to be going on so the book is already a season (or two) behind.
Rating: - Enjoyable Trivia for Fans
This was an amusing book that details the first five seasons of the HBO tv show, Curb Your Enthusiasm. I love this series, and the book gives a synopsis of each episode, along with little bits of trivia and interviews with the actors and other members involved in the production. Reading through each episode brought back happy memories. This certainly isn't a deep book, and most of this information can probably be found on the internet anyway, but if you'd like something that you can carry around with you or to catalogue the episodes at your leisure, it's worthwhile.
