Publisher Description

From bestselling author and host of HBO's Real Time, Bill Maher's new book of political riffs serves up a savagely funny set of rules for preserving sanity in an insane world.

A follow-up to the New York Times bestselling The New Rules, The New New Rules delivers a series of hilarious, intelligent rants on everything from same-sex marriage to healthcare, from Republican agendas to celebrity meltdowns, with all the razor-sharp insight that has made Bill Maher one of the most influential comedic voices shaping the political debate today. With another presidential campaign on the horizon and a stellar set of real-life characters to have fun with - "New Rule: If Charlie Sheen's home life means he can't have a TV show, then I say Newt Gingrich can't be president"-this enlightening and important book may be the best thing you pretend to read all year.

"If George Carlin and Lenny Bruce had a child, that child would be Bill Maher. A truly wonderfully irreverent tour of the American (and World) landscape. Maher is a national treasure, who pulls no punches in addressing the hypocrisy of the modern political and religious landscape. I can't recommend this book strongly enough!"

— George (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “One of the establishment’s most entertaining critics.”

    — New York Times
  • “Pundit Bill Maher courts controversy you say? He calls it telling the truth.”

    — Entertainment Weekly
  • “This was everything I wanted in a book, especially from someone who is determined to be politically incorrect.”

    — Chicago Tribune
  • “His satire can be surprisingly humane, though he never misses the opportunity to pun, which makes every entry capable of surprise. The fearless and honest Maher remains the best cultural critic since George Carlin, and his most recent effort is as hilarious as it is precise.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Funny stuff for TV viewers with short attention spans.”

    — Kirkus Reviews

    " This book was first, let me say, very funny. It was a sort of amalgamation of a few of the "New Rules" segments from his previously aired episodes along with a few new ones. I watch the show so I've seen many of them and while they are still just as funny, I would suggest to someone who watches his show to bypass picking up this book. "

    " Laugh out loud funny - but since Bill is a vaccine denialist - you don't have to believe everything he says is true. "

    " I took one star off cause Bill Maher is a misogynist, but not in a funny way. Everything else, though, is spot on. "

    " Not really a book, just a series of jokes and monologues from his show. It's entertaining, though. "

    " Very funny. I'm giving it one extra star for my dad, who loved it so much he gave it to me and wanted to discuss it. Highly unusual! "

    " I really enjoy Bill Maher! His humor and wit are right on point and he manages to call B.S. on everyone equally. "

    — Jay, 8/12/2013
  • Overall Performance: 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

    " I chuckled a couple of times but not nearly enough to make me give this book a thumbs up. I enjoy Bill Maher live but in writing I was disappointed. These aren't really rules they are just a collection of things Bill has a problem with. It was a waste of my time. "

    " Maher's blistering wit not only translates poorly outside of his show, but quickly becomes tiresome. This is a book best enjoyed in tiny chunks. "

    " One of the funniest books I've read in a long time. I laugh loud almost every other page- he's a genius with articulating the madness in politics, our government and media. "

    " Seems like a simple collection of clips and quips from his great HBO tv show. Better on TV than in the book format. "

    " I guess there can be too many new rules at one sitting. I enjoyed his first book. THis one is much of the same except it just didn't seem as enjoyable as the first one. "

    " While I found the majority of his rules hysterically funny, there is only so much of Bill Maher's cynical nature I can take before I get tired and put the book away. Took me a LONG time to finish because of this. If you are looking for something to laugh at in small doses, definitely read. "
