Book Reviews of Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Book
Book Review: it's all about Larry
Summary: 5 Stars
There's only ever been two American sitcoms which can make you squirm in your seat and laugh out loud! It so happens that both of these sitcoms were heavily influenced by the same man, writer/comedian Larry David. Those two sitcoms are Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
So if you love Curb, you'll love the book. Each episode is outlined with interesting anecdotes from cast and crew to help you re-live the magic, or tragic, brilliance of the series. The book also includes some history about Larry David as related by friends, co-workers, and of course by the man himself. There's not enough info about Larry for my liking, but then again the book isn't a Larry David bio so it's as you would expect. Read the book, buy the DVD's, immerse yourelf in Davidism, just for a little sanity.
Summary of Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Book
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.
