Why read it?
1 author picked Help! I'm a Prisoner in a Chinese Bakery as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Regrettably, while emptying my mother’s house I discarded this book, a comedy I read and reread over the decades. The writing is funny as all get go, undiminished by age, possessing a universal quality. Which is the key to comedy: the ability to make a lot of people laugh over time, distance, cultural backgrounds, etc. Alan King was the master of comedy in this book.
From Maura's list on that make you feel great that you got the innuendos.
