review 1: I needed an audiobook for a drive over the holiday weekend. This one popped up and I thought, why not? It will probably keep me awake more easily than Moby Dick (sorry, Herman Melville). I was right. It was entertaining and I didn't fall asleep at the wheel. Some of the comments/essays were very short - just a sentence or two. And some were stretching the humor a bit to make a political point. Still, I enjoyed the drive much more than I otherwise would have.
review 2: I did not really know who Bill Maher was before I picked this book. I mean, I knew of him vaguely - enough to say he was in news/politics, but that was about it. I picked this book because I have been on a humor audiobook kick for a while now. I liked the satirical humor of Denis Leary in Why W... moree Suck, and I thought this book might be similar, but it was not.Although I have been reading humor books lately, I really appreciate books that challenge me in some way. I have found that humor books often do that by making me laugh one moment and then making me think about something in a new way the next. The New New Rules by Bill Maher, however, did not make me laugh or challenge me in any way. It is simply full of (often crude) one-liners. If you're already a Bill Maher fan (or if you have a short attention span), you may like this book. But otherwise, I don't recommend this book for anyone else. less
