• This Is A Great Book For Starters! 30 October, 1998
This is a great book to begin with but I am just starting out and don't see this book as being the only book for me. This book is, however, very well written and easy to understand.

• You'll Catch The "bug" For Clowning And Creating. 22 February, 1998
Encourages the reader to create a clown persona with many photos and suggestions. Several getting-started routines are included. MISSING: he makes wonderful suggestions about creating a flea circus routine but just try to find a book or resource about THAT. It left me wanting MORE!

• Fatastic Book That Reads And Rereads Itself... Almost! 11 September, 2001
This is a great book for clowns, starting or otherwise. Lots of interesting ideas that warrents plenty of rereading. I have read this over and over again at least six times, and each time, I pick up something new, with spin offs coming from his ideas. The book is written with a informal, easy going style that makes really easy reading too, and the clown nose that comes with the book is a fun perk, though peeling it off damages (Or at least, for me) the book. We've (Zephyhdom, a clown company in Singapore) has used many ideas from this book and have found it useful... I hope you will too!
