Other reviewers are right: it’s funny, but inconsistently so. It starts very strong. I took pictures of pages and sent them to friends because they were so funny. But there are unfunny chapters and poorly aged jokes. The book gradually peters out and some late chapters simply drag.

Best chapters: 1, 2, 4, 7, 12. Worst: 13, 15, 16. Politics and culture are simply not evergreen topics, and they didn’t attempt to evergreen them at all. But the jokes about Canadian sensibilities, the relationship with the US, and cuisine are still very funny.

Still recommend this book if you come across it and want a funny read.
