Book Reviews of 700 Sundays

Great book! I felt like I was listening to Billy instead of reading his words. I could hear his intonation, his voice was in my head during the entire reading (one day)! And how profound to put your time with your father in perspective with Sundays. That was the only day the whole family spent together-a time they SHARED each other. My favorite passage was when Billy stated, "Time is a bastard. When you're sad there's too much of it, and when you're happy, there's not enough." This story reminds all of us of how precious time is and how we must not waste it. We only have a limited number of Sundays.

This was an excellent book by Billy Crystal. If you have ever seen any performace by him, you will hear his voice and mannerisms come through in his writing! This is a touching story of his family memories, specifically spending Sundays with his father.

Memoir of Crystal's childhood growing up on Long Island. Entertaining and a fast read - I read it in a day.

Such a great, down to earth book! I laughed and of course I cried. I was never a huge Billy Crystal fan, but after reading his book I look at his movies a little differently.

One of America's most beloved entertainers takes us home. Billy Crystal opens the front door to a time in his life when he shared joy, love, music, and laughter with an eccentric family headed by the heardworking father wholeft them all too soon. To support his family, Billy's father, Jack worked two jobs and long hours and could spare only Sundays to spend with his loved ones. But these precious days would be in short supply - Jack's life was suddenly ended by a heart attack when Billy was just fifteen. 700 Sundays refers to the sadly precise amount of time shared by a devoted father and his adoring son.

I laughed and cried and absolutely loved it!

Such an amazing glimpse in to the life of a well known and well loved Comedian. Very easy read, hard to put it down.

I did not get to see the show so when I saw this book at a library sale, I purchased it. The book is very humerous and at time I even laughed out loud! A really quick read, entertaining and very Billy Crystal!

Cute, funny read. I love Billy Crystal. He seems like someone you would want as a friend.

I really enjoyed this book. Very funny and also touching.

This is a great book! Billy is just as funny in print as he is in the movies. I read it in I read it in 4 hours. Couldn't put it down!

The first book that has made me both laugh out loud and cry. Wonderful.

read some of it..not my type of book

charming book..gave insight into the childhood of a great comedian

A very easy on day read. Interesting that a famous person's life started so ordinary.

I finished this book in one day. I enjoyed reading it and learned a lot about the author and his early life as a child in New York.

Wonderful book!
