 Haha - a hilarious (and interesting) read April 28, 2008
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Levey is one of the funniest writer's I've read in a while. The best pieces in here are funny to the point that I laughed out loud in public. In fact, the best pieces are so good that you seek to retell it to your friends, yet sadly realize that you don't have the 1/10th the storytelling chops of Levey.
Beyond the humor, Levey is endearing and honest. Indeed, his stories are as funny as they are because they are wrapped in the context of Levey's empathy and thoughtfulness. I've purchased this book already for three friends, and look forward to further giving it away to people who haven't had the pleasure of reading it. If you haven't read this book, it is a must. I am very much anticipating his next work!
A better David Sedaris, but Israeli April 27, 2008

Shut Up, I'm talking is very, very funny. I tried reading it before bed, but found it didn't help me fall asleep -- I kept reading on to the next chapter, laughing aloud along the way. The book reads like David Sedaris, but without the camp. This isn't for someone looking for a serious study of Israeli politics (obviously) -- but for something fun, this is it.
Hilarious and Telling April 22, 2008

A hilarious and telling book. Gregory Levey does an excellent job revealing the often bizarre life behind Israeli international diplomacy. A must read for anyone interested in Israel and the Middle East.
