Some snippets:
There are more ambitious works, as a pair of newcomers demonstrate with very different results. One, a biography about the biggest sitcom star of the last decade, turns out to be a dull read. The other, which gets into the ring with Vince McMahon and his World Wrestling Federation, is both smart and lively.
A relatively uneventful childhood, relatively smooth road to success and eight years on a TV sitcom about nothing do not make for gripping drama. While "Seinfeld" boasts scrupulously footnoted detail, there is no there there when it comes to its subject � or at least Oppenheimer failed to find it.
The book fails to satisfyingly explore the intriguing elements of Seinfeld's life, whether the comedy club scene, big-money network television or the intricate psychology of comedy.
Instead, we learn that Jerry's addiction to sneakers started in childhood, that he was a high school nerd and that he likes big-busted, dark-haired women, preferably Jewish.
There's a passing attempt to cast Jerry's life in Seinfeldian sitcom terms, resulting in the following clunker about his grandfather, a fish seller: "Jerry might have dubbed him the 'Fish Nazi' because of his cruel persona and difficult nature."
