"Three comic writer have some fun with Passover. Seders may never be the same." -- USA Today "A full-fledged comic assault on Passover... Finally, someone has created a full Haggadah that is not only fun to read, but isn't covered in wine stains... For This We Left Egypt? runs riot with the Haggadah and takes readers from the sophomoric to the sublimely funny." --The Forward "Three well-known humorists have written a Haggadah for an overlooked crowd: the wiseguys, cutups, and punsters who frankly have a hardtime taking the whole thing seriously." -- Jewish Telegraph Agency "[Barry, Zweibel, and Mansbach] have joined forces to come up with the perfect humoristic antidote to this Passover ritual... [ For This We Left Egypt? ] is a loudly humorous, acerbic parody of the haggadah, as it dissects every aspect of the Passover holiday... All in all, a new Passover tradition can be established with For This We Left Egypt? So instead of singing some traditional holiday songs before or after the festive meal, families can recite passages from this book and get a full comic Passover experience. Then again, they can use this book as a haggadah substitute." -- Montreal Times "A must-have for those who collect haggadot or for anyone who loves a laugh. If you're looking to lighten up your seder, you might read a page or two from it. Just be careful, though: people might refuse to turn back to the traditional text." -- The Reporter "[ For This We Left Egypt? ] brings a fair measure of levity to a holiday when leavening is banned. The book is both reverential and irreverent." -- New York Jewish Week "A hilarious take on Passover." -- Long Island Pulse, "Three comic writer have some fun with Passover.
