Too long and not funny

I did not enjoy reading this book. I skim read a lot of it and did not laugh or smile at all. Do not waste your time buying this book.

Colbert's O'Reily rip off was funny the first five minutes. Now, it's just old hat. The book is tedious and a bit on the pretensious side. I do not recommend after reading it.

Not for me. This was more like a comedy. I'm not really a fan of comedy.

The book was entirely too long. It got bogged down in minutia (sp?). Both Alice and Stella were interesting, but we didn't need every detail of their lives.

It was way too long, and so repetitive.  It begins cute, but that's the last bit of human interest.  Full of cliches and stock characters, this is one to miss.

I found the story boring and I did not appreciate the humour. In particular I Was disappointed with the final pages.

I had a number of problems with this book.  The main character, Hitch, was wry and amusing, almost to the point of annoying.  I didn't feel I ever really got to know any of the characters, much less care about what happened to them.  The story was way, way too long-it should have been about half the length it was.  It took a long time to get to the mystery of the story, by which time I wasn't certain I even cared. Cockey shows talent, but a severe editing of his work and much more focus on the characters and the main story would improve it.

Tedious.  Takes itself way too seriously.  Not a comedy.

The language is very raunchy.  While I understand it is supposed to be a parody, I don't think they needed to use such offensive language.

Way too long and drawn out.

Sorry, but I found this WAY over the top and unrealistic.  I am not at all religious, but I  just can't believe a preacher could ever use the profanity or defame a church the way this "self-named preacher did.  Nor can I  believe how a girl that was supposed to be so sweet and giving as she was depicted, could act like such a sleeze.  UGH!!!

this is not funny to me...I find the humor very inappropriate at any age.

I didn't like the book at all.  It had too much profanity, too much drug use and was way, way too long.

The book's main fault is it is overlong. The characters stumble from one bad situation to another.  Then there is too much agonizing over the actions of the characters and the impact on their relationships.  The book could have been better by being at least 100 pages shorter.

The very few jokes are original and funny as all get out, but the story becomes tedious and pointless by 150 pages. I skimmed the rest and though I would dive deeply into the text when it seemed worthwhile I never got the point. I consider the time I spent reading this a total waste of time.

The movie was too long and just too plain silly. The opening action scene was great, but it went downhill from there.  Even my 12 year old son said it was too long.

I read somewhere this book was hilarious. It wasn't. It was mainly a boring narration of author Nora Ephron's life. Although we catch glimpses of the same voice that wrote "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle" --which comically resonate in the universality of the banal details of our lives-- these stories are simply not funny enough to merit their becoming a book. She had a great life and a knack for pinpointing the little things we all go through, which should have made this book very appealing, but instead dragged on and felt pointless.

kind of annoying more than funny. my time would have been better spent watching almost anything else instead of this.
