For Seinfeld fans
This is an exhaustive study of all things Seinfeld. It contains a ton of interesting information about the series, the stars, the characters and synopses of all the episodes. My only criticism is that it is not very well written.

this is a very comprehensive book about Seinfeld.It goes through the earliest days of the show, describes all of the characters and plots, and gives a detailed synopsis. Very well done.

A decent enough trawl through the life of Seinfeld, although the extended character biographies seem endless and should have been better incorporated into the text - this leads to the episode summaries being very light on depth, stuck on to the last quarter of the book.

I love Seinfeld but this book was terrible. Badly written, contradicts itself in many places and completely unfunny.
