Relation As Books As the Matzo Ball Turns
Jozef Rothstein arrived from small-town Pennsylvania in Hollywood with stars in his eyes. Ten years later, he left with those same stars circling around his head. Reeling from the humbling routine of an actor looking for work--any work, even for a chewing gum commercial, clad as a beaver in Speedo trunks and a Scooby-Doo cape while surrounded by beautiful women dressed to the nines--Rothstein found humor the best solution to saving his sanity. Meanwhile, his money-generating job paralleled his dream employment. Rothstein's ten-year sentence as a waiter in a Jewish deli frequented by Tinsel Town's celebrities gave him more of the same ego pummeling, doled out in equal measure by customers and managers, but with a twist. The occasional hit men and drive-bys added just enough excitement to make near-death experiences an unwelcome reality. Here, too, laughter saves the day, and Rothstein gleefully shares the inspirations for a never-ending comedy of terrors. Just as frequently, his own missteps find him flat-flat face on the pavement, sharing space with customers familiar to the world. And yes, Rothstein does name names. Find your favorites in As the Matzo Ball Returns and see Hollywood stars--and waiters everywhere--in a whole new light. As the Matzo Ball Turns was also honored as a 'Finalist in the Humor Category' from Forward Book of the Year Awards.

"As the Matzo Ball Turns" is a side-splittingly funny read. I became invested in Rothstein's adventures in Hollywood and did not want to put the book down. Not only is the book filled with humor, but it is an insight into the struggle of trying to make it in Tinseltown. As I was reading, I felt like I was truly experiencing the highs and lows of the author's journey. Rothstein's unapologetic honesty and sense of humor had me laughing until I cried. 10/10This was a fun book. It was easy to read and highly entertaining. As a waitress in the restaurant business I can totally relate. After finishing this book I now want to go to Hollywood to visit and experience it first hand. Reading it again.
Hailing from the mountains of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania this born entertainer has been creating original works since he can remember. Unfortunately, a recent head injury has caused memory lapses, sweaty palms, and body spasms but he still claims he's been doing it awhile anyway.According to a guy who thinks he was in his acting class, Mr. Rothstein allegedly threw caution to the wind and made a
Hilarious romp through the eyes of an aspiring actor turned food service worker. This is a book anyone can relate to! One of the funniest I've read with excellent writing. Well worth my time.
I thought this book was fantastic! It hit on all of my emotions. It made me laugh the most but it also had adventure, ( I will be staying away from bridges) frustration, ( have you ever worked in a restaurant? Let alone a crazy busy Jewish deli in the middle of Hollywood with a bunch of other haggard actors waiting for their shot and the closest they get is the random famous costumers whom just add to an insane day?) and a pitch of tear jerking too. ( love the puppies!!) Perfect pool/beach
this is an excellent book ! captivating and mesmerizing how the story of truth unfolds before your eyes . if you want something different then your average joe book...this is it .I highly recommend this book and especially to anyone who is in the restaurant business . jozef encapsulates passion , inquisitive thought , heartache , determination and much more in this phenomenal read.
This may be the best book I've read all year. Not only is it different and creative, but it definitely shows off a wonderful sense of humor. "As The Matzo Ball Turns" gives a great insight as to the true life of a rising actor. More authors should use this style of writing. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an entertaining and laughable book!
