I mean it was OK. I expected it to be more real. More Newark, CA.

Devoid of substance. All cover, no contents.

I've neglected to include a "finish" date on this review, mainly because I think I'll never truly be done with this book.

I'll return to it time and time again throughout my life to gather wisdom from the unmatched wit of Vinit Nayak.

I promise, if you read 'Jokes: A Memoir' you will feel the same.

Fantastic portrayal of a life of jokes - highlighted by a flip-book video of Vinit being cool while missing a series of ping-pong shots! Highly recommended for people with a penchant for laughing hysterically (in a very high-pitched way).

Words can't describe the genius of Jokes. Vinit's book has completely changed my life for the better. I highly recommend reading this touching story of a true inspiration.

A whirling, multifaceted, witty debut. This ambitious memoir places Nayak alongside young, eclectic talents like Dave Eggers, Jonathan Safran Foer, and Zadie Smith.
