...Oppenheimer, whose credits include unauthorized biographies of Martha Stewart and Barbara Walters, doggedly interrogates Seinfeld's childhood pals, ex-girlfriends and business partners in search of an answer. But the only picture he can come up with is of an almost eerily boring individual, an emotional recluse and a relentless workaholic whom a colleague once labeled a robo-comic. The book suffers from a total lack of access to the man and his famous co-stars, as well as from Oppenheimer's egregious sub-tabloid prose--he wouldn't know an elegant phrase if it sued him for libel...

...stunted man who so badly wants to reconnect with a childhood friend that he stalks him. In this year's teen comedy Orange County, he was an unctuous, semiliterate English teacher. In The Good Girl, he's a born-again security guard with a crooked grin and a suspiciously relentless evangelism. ("I'm not a pagan, but thanks anyway!" he says when co-workers wish him a happy Halloween...
