In Laugh Lines, Zweibel looks back, affectionately and informatively.

Zweibel is long-winded in his descriptions at times, but Laugh Lines is, overall, a well-written, enjoyable, often rambling, and funny memoir by an accomplished comedy writer..

This memoir by comedy writer Zweibel includes all the elements of a polished routine: one-liners, funny stories, running gags, a bit of adults-only material, and general musings on the human condition. The best part is that Zweibel’s chosen persona—a slightly oversize, thoroughly likable Jewish kid—remains constant, so readers feel like they really get to know this nice guy, loyal friend, devoted family man, and talented writer.

... in this lively memoir, Zweibel stresses that a writer's life is governed by more than luck—passion and persistence through sometimes hilariously spectacular failures are vital, as are endless rewrites.

This zippy memoir by comedians’ comedian Zweibel...offers laughs on nearly every page.

Zweibel...has plenty of material to dish about, but his memoir is refreshingly light on dirt and scandal.
