Book Reviews of I Love Everybody (and Other Atrocious Lies): True Tales of a Loudmouth Girl
Book Review: Idiot girls much better than this
Summary: 2 Stars
After finishing "idiot girls", I immediately started this book. Yeah, it was funny. But not like her first book. Her first book kept me laughing throughout but this book was a bit of a let down. She grows up, for instance, and that's a good thing. But in this book, her humor seems forced. It's not self-deprecating quirky observations anymore. Instead, what is supposed to be funny most of the time are her actions or her own words that she spoke to someone, rather than her actions or silent thoughts. Also, the manic drunken energy that was funny during her younger days is a bit overbearing now that she's writing as a nondrunken adult. She seemed to write as if she was trying very hard to make things funny. In Idiot Girls, I didn't get that impression-- her life seemed naturally funny.
In all fairness there were a few essays and/or columns that I found very humorous. But there were also long drawn out stories about Disneyland (here she confronts Winnie the Pooh and Donald Duck for not wearing pants. And then she talks about it for several more paragraphs. This was the joke in the story. Uh, this is funny?) and a couple more that were so long and drawn out that I wound up skipping them entirely.
Not really recommended, but I'm still going to give her other books a try.
