This was pretty funny, though I enjoyed Free-range Chickens a lot more...

3.5 stars. Flash fiction that made me laugh aloud in a few places.

There were some really funny pieces in this book. But overall, it seemed more like a blog or a creative writing class project or notes from improv theater more than a cohesive bit of humor. Adding some longer pieces might have helped these short bits hold together better as a book. I had higher hopes for this one, especially with Jon Stewart's endorsement.

Hilarious collection of brief essays that a co-worker loaned me. The type of thing that's great read aloud to your spouse or friends and just gasping with laughter.

Humorous 1 or 2-page essays from a young writer who was the editor of the Harvard Lampoon. Absurdist stuff, similar to Cruel Shoes by Steve Martin.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This has to be by far one of the funniest books I have read in a long time! I think it's insanely funny and I am so happy I got to read this. It's a book I struggled to put down. So worth the read!
