What Would Susie Say?: Bullsh*t Wisdom about Love, Life and Comedy

This is a must read for any fan of Susie. She comes across in the book the same way that she appears in "Curb."

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.

This is perfect for these serious times when we all need a laugh. Ms. Susie is a little on the blue side but not too much. She's as funny as it gets!

If your best girl friend is hilarious. I absolutely loved this. It's so fun, warm and wise, but never tries too hard. This is both illuminating and a comfort. It's deeply honest but also just a plain good time. Highly recommended!

My only problem with this book was that I had to stop reading it in public because my uncontrollable laughter and subsequent tears made people stare at me. That aside, I had the best time reading this book. I laughed and laughed and laughed. Prior to reading the book, I was unfamiliar with Susie Essman other than her portrayal of Susie Greene on Curb Your Enthusiasm. While Essman does write about her experiences on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and her development of the Susie Greene character, there is so much more info, insight and humor in this book. Not surprisingly, Susie Essman is very different from the character she plays on t.v., and it is thus very interesting to read about the woman and the comedian behind the character. Susie Essman is one funny lady, and this is one truly funny and fun book. A true pleasure!
