Editorial Reviews: Product Description The Music May Have Stopped, but the Party’s Never Over. Bar Mitzvah Disco. Everyone's Invited Pick up your table card and come be our guest on this journey back to a time when style, music, and lust went hand in hand with a Day-Glo necklace, a pair of Z Cavaricci jeans, and Vuarnet shades. In this parallel universe, tall girls slow-danced with short boys at arm’s length, suburban break-dance pioneers vied with Lionel Richie fanatics for dance-floor space, Aunt Edna came ready to mount an assault on the dessert buffet in her best lime-green polyester pantsuit, and the phrase “the higher the hair, the closer to God” took on a whole new meaning. With special appearances from: AJ Jacobs, 99 red balloons, Ben Lee, the California Raisins, a well-intentioned Burt Reynolds impersonator, Jessi Klein, Joel Stein, DJ Squeak E. Clean, members of Foreigner (circa the Agent Provocateur tour), Sarah Silverman, OJ Simpson, Noah Tepperberg, Wendy Spero, the cast of Breakin’, Mark Ronson, Steve Fortgang and southern Florida’s number one Bar Mitzvah band Bar Mitzvah Disco is an irresistible journey, two parts Fantasy Island to one part Vegas, rife with gorgeous girls, piles of cash, and ungracious thank-you notes presented straight from the source.

Robins (Columbus, OH) 12 out of 13 found this review helpful It's hard to resist opening this book when considering the cover shot. All serious Bar Mitzvah-goers know that there are many stories, pictures and musings that are simply too important not to share. It's a smart and hilarious book of basically everything Bar Mitzvah. The writers have obviously scoured the earth for the BEST shots of the NOT-SO-BEST of 70's & 80's dress, hair, makeup & shiny new braces. It will definitely make you laugh. It takes you back to a time of Michael Jackson, Reeboks, hair gel & hours spent in temple. Intelligent and VERY funny November 3, 2005 A. Antonius 6 out of 7 found this review helpful This is one of the best books I have come across in a long time. The pictures will resonate with everyone who grew up in the 70s and 80s...Jewish or not. Hard to believe we were all so sophisticated and such snazzy dressers! And the book is extremely well put together with texts from people like Sarah Silverman. This book is going to be the gift I give to my friends this holiday season. It is smart, sharp, witty, and very funny and will bring back a lot of fun memories. Had me in stitches January 26, 2006 Little Miss Cutey (Melbourne, Australia) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful What a funny funny book this is. It's classic. Great concept and well written. It brings back so many memories - both painful and funny and many people can relate. The clothes, the music, the friends and the parties themselves. It's weird enough looking back at your own Bat Mitzvah photos let alone many other peoples Bar/Bat Mitzvah pics. Some of these earlier ones are hillarious but getting into the 80's (the era mine was in) is getting rediculously funny. This is the perfect gift for someone else or yourself. It will have you in stitches reading the stories and looking at the pictures. I love this book. fantastic January 29, 2007 S. Billings (Denver) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This book is awesome - it perfectly captures this bizarre subculture of over-the-top celebrations of puberty among Jews in the 1980s, primarily in the New York metro area. If you are one of the chosen people that celebrated Bar and Bat Mitzvahs during that time, you will laugh until it hurts reading this book. Oh my god, I know them!!!! December 18, 2006 Rachael 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I just received this book for the holidays. I was going to bar/bat mitvahs in the early eighties and throughly enjoyed this book. Then came the photo. I graduated junior high with the entire table!!! There are no words to describe how happy I am with this book, except to say that reading it was pure enjoyment.
