The Truth (with jokes)

Praise

“Devastating… The Truth keeps its promise to be funny about extremely unfunny matters. It matches Lies in wit, and its subjects are tougher. The gags have bite. . . . And it is effectively leavened with bits of dialogue, many of them all too real.”—The New York Times

“Subtle, laugh-or-cry-out-loud and ultimately devastating . . . The Truth (with jokes) is guaranteed to rile the right again with its forensic lasering of Republican skullduggery and media mendacity, laced with sharp humor. . . . [Franken] is the voice the American left has been waiting for.”—The Guardian (London)

Praise for Lies: And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them

“Laugh-out-loud funny.”—The Washington Post

“Rings with the moral clarity of an angel’s trumpet… Although Franken is a self-proclaimed liberal, his work differs in that it presents well-substantiated arguments and damning examples of false accusations that conservatives have effectively used against Democrats… sharp analysis and humor.”—Associated Press

“A typically unabashed blend of razor-witted denunciation and old-fashioned gumshoe detective work directed at right-wing crazies both in and out of government… [An] exquisitely irritating new book.”—The Independent (London)

“[A] heady mixture of scathing humor and righteous indignation.”—The Onion

“In the kicking, spitting spirit of current all-star political discourse, Al Franken gives as good as he gets.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

Praise for Oh, the Things I Know!

“With a nod to Dr. Seuss and his popular tome for graduates of all ages, Franken offers his own advice guide, which covers pretty much anything anyone wants to understand about life… This laugh-aloud take on advice books—it is dedicated simply ‘For Oprah’—is Stuart Smiley with an edge.”—Ilene Cooper, Booklist

“Easy-to-follow guide to success and, failing that, happiness.”—USA Today
