Overview

Okay.  You're about to listen to the excerpt, but you're not really ready to commit.  You're looking at this screen, reading the copy, hoping to get a preview--a taste of what's to come before you plunk down actual cash.  I respect that.  I would do the same thing myself.
But here's the problem: this is just an excerpt.  You can't sum up a whole three-hour program with just an excerpt--there isn't enough time.
I will tell you this, though:
Couplehood is all about the stuff that's good and bad about being part of a couple.
It's pretty funny.
My wife laughed.
You'll understand it because I wrote it specifically for you.  (And I'm not just saying that.)
The price is reasonable, especially if you compare it to what it would cost you to take time off from work and produce your own set of tapes.
Worse comes to worst, after you've listened you can say, "Well, that was kind of tedious, but I certainly enjoyed that copy on the Website."
There.  Does that help?

Synopsis

Okay.  You're about to listen to the excerpt, but you're not really ready to commit.  You're looking at this screen, reading the copy, hoping to get a preview--a taste of what's to come before you plunk down actual cash.  I respect that.  I would do the same thing myself.
But here's the problem: this is just an excerpt.  You can't sum up a whole three-hour program with just an excerpt--there isn't enough time.

Library Journal

As cocreator and star of the NBC sitcom Mad About You, Reiser examines the idiosyncrasies of couplehood and many other topics as he narrates his best-selling book with impeccable timing and a relaxed, conversational style. He takes the usual comedian material-babies, remote controls, household chores-and makes them refreshingly hilarious with his ability to point out their inherent humor. Although each chapter is titled, Reiser builds on his subjects without rambling, keeping each topic entertaining as well as allowing listeners to enjoy the cassettes randomly. From mail order catalogs ("Who is Victoria and what is the big secret, anyway?") to his parents' conversations ("you never hear about someone who is a spring chicken..."), Reiser consistently demonstrates his uncanny ability to connect with everyone sooner or later. It is this universal appeal that makes Couplehood a necessary purchase for public libraries.-Susan McCaffrey, Legg Middle Sch. Lib., Coldwater, Mich.
