"[H]er ironic eagerness is infectious....Silverman, with her willingness to say anything can be liberating: a bomb-tossing jester in the blasphemous-and-proud-of-it tradition of Lenny Bruce and Howard Stern." -- Grade: B- 11/18/2005 p.106New York Times
"[H]er gift for mimicking the prevailing modern tones and idioms of piety, hypocrisy and wounded innocence is considerable..." 11/11/2005 p.E13 Empire
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his funny woman's ear for satire, coupled with clever use of the comedic safety-net that is irony, giver her freedom to say anything she likes...and get away with it." 11/01/2008 p.185 |
