- Rich was one of the youngest writers ever hired by Saturday Night Live
- quite honestly...I laughed out loud!
- a delightful collection of comic vignettes that "displays a knack for extracting humor from scenarios of discomfort and despair."
- interesting fact: In his original proposal to Random House (a portion of which was printed in the New York Observer) he claimed that the "...subject matter - horrible, inescapable doom - is well-suited for a younger audience...I think kids will be attracted to the book's unpredictability. The tone remains constant throughout, but the topic changes every page with the abruptness of an iPod shuffle."
- I love the wording in this review I found: "Ant Farm is a delightful bruschetta of absurdity served on crackers of keen insight."
