Found this in the library book sale pile and was attracted to it because it mentioned Jerry Seinfeld in the corner (who only wrote an introduction to the letters in the book). I was delighted to find it to be a collection of correspondance in business letter format. 5 minutes into what was supposed to be a cursory glance to see if I wanted it, I was laughing so hard (in the library) that I made a complete fool of myself. I was clutching my stomach and laughing uncontrollably. I immediately purch...more
I was so disappointed in this book. I have also read the original Letters From a Nut, and it was funny. This one was a real stretch. It seemed like more an act of desperation than actually funny material. Aside from a few parts that made me smile a little, it just wasn't even worth reading. Too bad because it is such a good idea, in theory.
This is a compilation of real letters written to government officials, restaurants, hotels, etc. that are so funny and unbelievable, I had to read some of them over and over again! Some of the things you dream of saying but don't.
The hysteria continues! Especially funny were the letters in response who took them seriously. Can't believe people don't understand the conceit used by Seinfeld.
Such a funny book! I really enjoyed this, along with the first book. A very quick read that will leave you giggling long after you finish.
Even more hilarious, if possible. Then again I have a very immature sense of humor...

If I could give this 25 million stars, I would. I find it just that funny!
This is hilarious stuff. Laughter truly is the best medicine.
most are really funny but some are just really bizarre...

read in 2006 for the ladies' night out book club
Not as funny as the first one.
The hysteria continued...
Another hilarious book!!
Good nutty fun.
Sooo funny!!!
Although I haven't totally completed this book I'm going to mark it as complete anyway since I feel I have a pretty good feel for it. Very amusing! Some of these letters are hysterical! Although some of them fell flat, a good portion of these letters had me giggling uncontrollably. I would recommend to read this book in spurts as the letters could get old. It would be a good book to place in a guest room or (ahem) a bathroom--please ignore the spurt association with that one!
The authors should have quit while they were ahead. Far less funny than the first book.
Wish there were more - funny.
This book was a gift I'm finally getting around to reading. Already my neck is quite sore from shaking it in disbelief because of the letters people actually wrote. If you're in need of a few laughs, this is the book to get.
More silly letters from the wacko Mr. Nancy. Very funny, but a couple might be a little much for students. It will stay in the professional library.
I really enjoy his observational humor and he does a tremendous job of keeping most of the jokes a guiltless crime by not overtly making fun of the respondents. The only complaint I have with this book is you kind of feel like you've read the entire book after about 4 chapters.
Originally I was giving this four stars, because after reading the first one and half of this one I felt like I was just reading the same few letters with words that had been rearranged. But five stars just for the mosquito letter and the Beatlemania hospital stay.
This book isn't bad, but I recommed reading it in short bits. A page here, a page there. I made the mistake of reading it for long periods of time, and letters become repetitive, and weren't as entertaining.
Sequels are never quite as good as the first are they? It seems silly to say, but this one seemed contrived. I still read and enjoyed it, but I would have been happier stopping after #1.

More of the same as the first Letters From a Nut - good for a laugh or three any time you want a break from serious reality.
seriously, after reading the first book, how can you not move on to the second
Hilarious. Found myself laughing out loud and reading parts over again.
Very funny...sounds like Sienfield's humor and most likely his zany work.
This is another hilarious book, just like the first one :)
The first one was funnier...but chock full of gems!!!!
