"I enjoyed reading this book, not because it made me laugh uproariously; that isn't the point of the book. It caused me to think about how I interact with others. It spotlighted some common tendencies, like retreating into a "Literal Larry" persona when you (I) could be taking risks and making things interesting. The author's tone is playful, in a brass-tacks sort of way. I appreciate Peart's grasp of the vulnerability humor demands and his encouragement to push through it. I remember watching Johnny Carson (yep, I'm old) and being impressed with his ability to capitalize on the audience's reaction to a joke that bombed. He eventually got the laugh, one way or another. In that vein, the book encourages learning to laugh at your own failed attempts at humor. It's a tightrope not everyone can walk, but it's a great exercise in authenticity and humility. I was impressed that the author stayed away from cruel and hurtful techniques. Humor that is achievable only at the expense of others is a comedy cop out, and Peart doesn't go there. The book is professionally edited; I found only a handful of minor errors. Gregory Peart is a skilled writer; he has authored numerous books in the realm of social skills. He definitely hit the mark with You Can Be Funny and Make People Laugh . I gladly rate the book 5 out of 5 stars for its solid, accessible guidance and compassionate, playful tone. I was in a really good mood after reading the book, and I encourage adults and young adults to try it. It would also make a great gift for your "Literal Larry" friends. If being funnier and more interesting in everyday interactions appeals to you, you will enjoy this book. If it doesn't appeal to you, the book might be perfect for you." - Eva Dar, OnlineBookClub.com official review
