Is This Anything? by Jerry Seinfeld
4.0
I listened to this as an audiobook on a very long car ride and it was the perfect listen. It was narrated by Jerry and just felt like you were listening to one of his shows. The jokes were grouped into time periods, but otherwise there wasn't a lot of cohesion to them (but that didn't detract from anything).
My main qualms about this are mainly how the audiobook also had a secondary narrator that read out all the titles of the jokes before Jerry told them, but as these jokes were one offs it felt much more like an incessant interruption than anything helpful. Obviously, if you read the physical book that wouldn't be a problem, and perhaps titles between each individual joke would aid in better understanding things, but it was a very poor direction to go with the audiobook. That being said, hearing Jerry deliver his own jokes is definitely worth giving it a listen.
