Rating: 4 out of 5

I read this book not expecting to be tickled in the least and it was only because I was always wary of books like this. Somehow I thought that reading prepared jokes could never be as funny as someone spinning them off the top of their heads. You don't see Kat Williams, Steve Harvey or Eddie Murphy reading from a piece of paper what comes naturally to them.I can't vouch for all of the jokes in this book landing but I laughed so hard for a few of them I almost choked on my cereal. So my first tip is not to read this book with your mouthful because chances her you will laugh accidentally swallow more than you should or spit out the contents.I would recommend this book for the simple fact that some of the jokes will invoke laughter. It may not be explosive laughter because not everyone has the same sense of humor but I am positive that this book has at least one good joke for every kind humor pallet.My chuckle moments were reading "Confessions of a Wife" and "Death Bed Confessions".Oddly enough some of the jokes sounded like really corny pick up lines and would recommend that no matter how funny you think they are (men) you don't go out and try those. If you want good pick up lines then try readingFunny Pick Up Lines:the Best Lines That Will Give You The Best Chance To Hook Up With Your Girl Of Interestfor a few good ones.I think some of the jokes like the ones that seemed to be telling some sort of story could have had better punchlines. In my home we used to do this thing whenever we heard a joke that wasn't funny and that thing was to look up at the ceiling with out palms opened. If the teller of the joke asked why we were looking at the ceiling, the reply would be that we are waiting to catch the joke. There were some moments in this book where I looked at the ceiling.Like gymnastics, jokes are required to stick their landing. I would suggest that Stephen revisit this book and improve those jokes that still not stick.
