Summary: Interesting
Comment: If the price of this book doesn't seem so bad to you, give it a shot. You probably only heard about this book if you were a Seinfeld fan, anyway.
What's interesting about this book is to know that you are reading the very words that made the relationship between Jerry Seinfeld and this "real Costanza" go sour.
Costanza is an interesting and funny guy. This book seems honest-- he tells it like it is in a straightforward manner, and I feel as if I know Jerry a bit better after reading this--he DOES NOT play HIMSELF on his sitcom.
This book includes a few photos of Jerry goofing around straight out of Costanza's photo albulm--it's interesting to see how he acted around his friends. The single best scene in this book is the author's account of when Jerry FIRST took a shot at making people laugh for a few minutes, when he caught his friends off guard and did a few minutes of stand-up that he had spent quite a while preparing.
This book tracks Jerry's life and personality changes from when he was a class clown Joe Shmoe until he found himself in superstardom, making hundreds of times the money that his friends, like this author, make.
Rating: 4
Summary: A great book if you're interested in Jerry's life before TV
Comment: "The Real Seinfeld", as an attempt to cash in on the Seinfeld name is annoying but accepted, but as an attempt to further chronicle parts of Jerry's life before show business, it's one of the best sources available. Mike Costanza was a good friend of Jerry's when they were younger and, in addition to giving Jason Alexander's character his name, Jerry and Larry David have also imbued George with many characteristics and idiosynchracies from Mike's life. If you're interested in Jerry Seinfeld, this one is a must have.
