Title: Recommended for light humor
Review: Good, light read. Most of the items in this book I have read before but I fairly regularly read Reader's Digest. If you enjoy humor that is not too complicated and is clean then you will enjoy. Most of this is appropriate for general audiences. I did take off a star for minor editing issues (somewhat ironic considering its by the Editors), otherwise I did enjoy this and would recommend! I was pleasantly surprised by the length of the book, especially for a free item!

Title: Small text, small book, but entertaining
Review: Print is small. Was a bit disappointed in that, because I was hoping to read it and then pass it on to my mother. Some of the quotes are repeats of what I've seen on the Internet. All in all entertaining, but the book is small and again the prince is very small. Surprisingly I found a typo, which I would think is rare for Reader's Digest. There was a page with two quotes repeated on it

Title: LMAO!
Review: "Laughter Really Is the Best Medicine" is a compilation of more than 1,000 jokes submitted to Reader's Digest magazine's 'Laughter is the Best Medicine' column over the years. Regardless of whether you believe laughter can literally enhance your health, you will certainly get a healthy dose of humor out of this book.I've been a subscriber to Reader's Digest for more years than I care to remember, and the joke pages are where I always go first, before I read any of the more serious articles. I expected most of the jokes in this book would be familiar to me. Much to my surprise, nearly every single one was new to me!That could be just a function of a failing memory, but whether or not I had previously read any of them, these jokes got a lot of laughter out of me. They are all good, clean G-rated humor, suitable for sharing around the dinner table... or they would have been, if my wife had let me.Everybody needs a good laugh once in a while. This book is a great place to go for that laugh. I absolutely insist that everybody should get a copy of this book, if not for your health, at least for your peace of mind. Nothing puts stress in its place quite like a good hearty laugh.As with any collection of jokes, there will be examples that you won't find funny, and others your friends won't find funny. BUT... and this is a big but (no, that wasn't a joke), out of more than 1,000 jokes, just imagine how many you WILL find humorous! Statistically speaking, the odds are phenomenal that you will find yourself laughing at a great many of these jokes. When you look at it that way, how can you resist this sales pitch?You will find yourself repeating many of these jokes around the water cooler at work, or in your email correspondences. But a word of warning... if your friends or co-workers start to turn the other way whenever they see you coming, maybe you should back off with sharing the jokes quite so much. Some folks just don't have a sense of humor.
