Book Reviews of What Would Susie Say?: Bullsh*t Wisdom About Love, Life and Comedy
Book Review: Sharp Susie Shines!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all I recommend the audio book, so you get the full Susie effect! I think Susie has written a very sweet, funny, and life affirming book. I love her authentic voice. I also disagree that this book is a "women's book." I'm a gay man and I believe that we can all learn something from listening to each other's stories, so to discount this book because Susie is coming from a female perspective is crazy! Susie embraces all people and is loving towards men, women, teens, kids, gays, straights, and especially animals. Susie loves her dogs! Susie's writing voice is conversational and she really does share her practical and down to earth opinions in a loving and hysterical book. It is like a close friend, girlfriend, sister or mother telling it like it is. I adore her unconventional wisdom and how she will be in the middle of funny thought and all of a sudden drop an f-bomb or a expletive. The funny thing is though, that Susie never comes across as inappropriate or dirty. She has the gift of gab and is so likable. I think she should have her own show. I highly recommend this book, especially the audio. I will listen to Susie's wisdom any day. She is a treasure and I look forward to more from Susie.
Summary of What Would Susie Say?: Bullsh*t Wisdom About Love, Life and Comedy
IN WHAT WOULD SUSIE SAY?, Susie Essman sheds the crasser layers to reveal how she went from an anxiety-ridden, struggling stand-up comic to being one of the funniest women on television, playing Susie Greene on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm. Emerging as one of the most successful performers in her field, Essman goes behind the scenes of a life in comedy with her funny cohorts, including Joy Behar, Rodney Dangerfield, and, of course, Jeff Garlin and Larry David, while also providing sidesplittingly funny wisdom on a range of topics that she's highly unqualified to expound upon, including men, sports, hypochondria, and stepparenthood. WHAT WOULD SUSIE SAY ABOUT...
MARRIAGE?
"It took me a long time to find the man I was willing to commit myself to. Even the word commit is troublesome. One is committed to a mental institution."
MEN WITH DOGS?
"As a dog lover, I've researched many different breeds and I've begun to realize that you can tell a lot about a person by what breed of dog they choose to associate with. A bit self-conscious about your cellulite? A guy with a shar-pei is for you. They're hard to find, but cheaper than lipo."
THE BEAUTY OF MENOPAUSE?
"I guess I just have to accept the fact that I'm going to end up a bald, fat, sweaty, irritable woman with a dry vagina and a full beard who never sleeps and has memory loss so I won't even be able to remember how hot I used to look!"
STEPPARENTHOOD?
"My mother used to tell me 'you can't buy your kids' love.' Bullshit. You can, and it's exponential. They're like Russian mail-order brides -- the more you spend, the more they love you."
WHAT WOULD SUSIE SAY? is Essman's irreverent, refreshingly candid, and hilarious retort to the dubious facts of life that we all face.
