review 1: I'm a huge fan of Weird Al and I love all the coffee table book aspects of this (the pictures, Al's lists, ect.), but Nathan Rabin's writing here is HORRIFIC. Even for a fan send up it's sickeningly mushy. Everything doesn't need a string of positive adjectives. Every album can't be the most important album of his career. It's like a book report on Al done by a well-informed 5th grade mega-fan that just chronologically picked every detail off Al's Wikipedia page.
review 2: I'll read anything about Weird Al Yankovic. Sure, it could have been longer but there were some fun stories, interesting pictures and lyrics too. I'm really going to try and memorize Albuquerque. I also enjoyed the selection of Tweets. I follow Al on Twitter but had not seen some of them be... morefore. This book is especially good for the casual Weird Al fan (if there is such a thing) who merely wants the basics rather than the hard core fan who wants more detailed info about his career. Weird Al is a genius. And not just in France. less
