MY REVIEW
The Laugh
Supper is a tale involving a group of famous people from our past, time
traveling to the author’s home and having eclectic discussions about whatever
subject is broached. Groucho Marx, Mae West, Abraham Lincoln, Leonardo da
Vinci, Ralph Waldo Emerson, John F. Kennedy, Dorothy Parker, Dr. Martin Luther
King, and John Lennon were the time travelers. Even though each of these needed
no introduction, the author included their history before beginning the story.
The topics varied anywhere from weight loss to the internet. As one of the
chapter titles insinuated, it was a war of words and a battle of the exes.
I thought that this was an interesting take on how
each of these people would fair in a type of debate with one another. When the
topic would change to something they were known for, it was like learning
history again because there were some things I didn’t know about them, da Vinci
especially. Everyone had snappy comebacks, giving me continuous humor cover to
cover. There were a couple of times that the discussion was boring to me,
making it seem to last forever, but all in all, I enjoyed all of the camaraderie
and jest that was provided during this unusual gathering.
