My Seinfeld Year by Fred Stoller
1.0
reflective fast-paced

 Fred Stoller is an actor/comedian and author. He has done a lot of voice over work for various animated shows and movies. This book talks about the year he spent working as a writer for the show Seinfeld. I love that show, and watch reruns all the time. I thought this would be a cool behind the scenes book to read about one of my comfort shows, but it was severely disappointing. It was mostly Fred Stoller lamenting the fact that he was not an A list celebrity on this show and in all of his other work. It also seemed to give the impression that he is much more interesting and a beloved celebrity in his own mind than what people actually feel. I think that he has been fortunate enough to have a pretty interesting career that most people could only dream of, and learning about that instead of lamentations would have been more interesting. However, this book was about an hour to listen to on Audible and it was included for free on Audible Plus, so at least I didn't waste money on it. I do not recommend this, even for fans of Seinfeld.
