Pure Drivel Reviews:
Pure Drivel is Pure Drivel
2009-11-22 - Normally I can't get enough of Steve Martin. I love his movies (Roxanne is my all-time favorite) and have enjoyed his previous books and tapes. But I found "Pure Drivel" to be completely sub-standard. In fact, I stopped after listening to only three tracks. Maybe it gets better, but I was so disappointed that I didn't haven't have the enthusiasm to continue.

Title accurate
2009-02-19 - I purchased this item because I saw a clip of one story in the book. That clip was the only worthwhile portion of the book. The title of the book is extremely accurate. Just proves a celebrity can get anything publised. I wonder if he had to pay to have it published?

Title rings true for some of the stories
2008-07-29 - I have read Steve Martins other books and throughly enjoyed them. In looking for a new book I came across this. After reading the reviews I was a bit hesitant about getting the book, but his others were good so this one can't be bad (right?). Well, I read about 3 of the stories and then skimmed over the rest. It is not that it was bad, just not entertaining. Nothing held my attention, I fouond my thoughts wandering midway thru his sentences. So, if you enjoyed his other books I would head to the library for this one.

pure drivel is purely divine
2007-12-19 - i discovered this book while working at a public library. i found it on the audiobook aisle and gave it a listen. and believe me, if you haven't listened to the audiobook i encourage it. it's completely different hearing martin's voice. i can't imagine not listening to the audiobook and enjoying the written one, in fact.
the book is a series of dry-humoured short stories, all sure to make one smirk. "times new roman announces shortage of fonts" is surely the best one, though "taping my friends" runs a close second.
in my opinion, this is by far the best of martin's books. it's good for airplanes, car rides, or any time you want a short read. give it a read (and a listen!)

2007-11-30 - Great stuff that'll get a laugh even out of the painfully serious. The 50-year-old Lolita even thinks it's funny. A few quotes. "But this guy was no ordinary guy, he was a red guy." "Think what you think, and stultify what you perambulate." "48. Windows for Dummies. 49. Windows for Idiots. 50. Windows for the Subhuman." This is hilarious stuff that just about everyone will get a kick out of...er, this? Author of Adjust Your Brain: A Practical Theory for Maximizing Mental Health.
