Everything and a Kite

On "Everybody Loves Raymond", the show Entertainment Weekly calls "TV's smartest sitcom", Ray Romano has won millions of fans by being today's funniest observer of family life. The hit CBS-TV series not only stars Romano but was inspired by his years of material as an acclaimed stand-up comic, hilarious observations drawn from his own experiences as a lovably neurotic Italian-American son, brother, husband, suburban home-owner and father of four, including twin boys. In a book that is both laugh-out-loud funny and steeped in the crazily all-too-real stew of life, Ray Romano captures on the book page the same blend of wicked humor and survivor's wisdom that has made him an audience and critics' favorite. From living too close to your parents to living too close with your kids to wanting, to get close again to your wife to not wanting to acknowledge that you're even related to your brother, Ray Romano manages to find humor in those family situations to which every reader can relate.
