Summary: 2 Stars
I like funny. I enjoy reading humor. Always have and will. All kinds of humor. Whenever and wherever I can find it. I think its important to start the day with a laugh. Even if its from my morning ritual on the weight scale.
I got this book based on primarily the reviews of it. I tried to look at it at the bookstore but it was wrapped in that plastic you-wanna-look-you-gotta-buy wrap that some books come in.
So I shelled out the ten bucks hoping to "pee my pants", "Laugh so hard I had to buy several copies" or "when I need a laugh I pick this book up".
I got my book and after ripping off the plastic wrap the first thing I realized is that I just paid about 6 bits a page for the thing.
I liked the illustrations, a lot. I liked the humor. Did I buy several copies? No. Did I laugh hard. Hardly. Did I pee my pants. Only because the bathroom door was locked from the inside by mistake that day. It was not that funny to me.
I was pretty much done with it and donated it to the library after an hour. They put it in with the kids picture books.
If you want to get a really good laugh. Read Pat McManus, Richard Amour and Christopher Moore. If this book makes you laugh, more power to you and spread it around. We need more laughter these days.
The Library spread mine back to me and it sits on a shelf. Apparently a couple of parents thought this was a book that developing readers should start with. I can only imagine the look in their eyes when their 4-year old pointed into the book, looked up questionably and asked "what's that word mean?".
So I guess this book did make me laugh to some extent.
Book Review: I fell offa the chair trying to invest more time moving out parent basement...........
Summary: 5 Stars
I have not laughed this hard or long while reading a book in a long time. I especially enjoyed the part on "no spray with holy water"......after each page I found myself crumpled up in my seat trying to grip the book while prying my own watering eyes open to read the next line. Brilliant!!!!Book Review: A two-fer
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only the funniest thing I've read in ages, but very cost effective as well. I purchased it, showed it around, and will use it as a birthday gift which I am very certain will be a home run with the person I have in mind - simply the perfect gift.
"me think chewbacca jerk. He NO can act...."
Book Review: Me no type good...me laughing TOO hard
Summary: 5 Stars
During the course of reading this book, I experienced the following sensations: loss of breath due to laughter-induced entire body spasms; temporary blindness resulting from overactive tear ducts (also caused by laughter); and total inability to control my bladder. Similar symptoms have occurred in all parties exposed to Graham Roumieu's explosive treasure, including my friends, family, co-workers, ex-boyfriend, editor, landlord, grocery clerk, and orthopedic surgeon.
Other reviewers say they ALMOST peed their pants laughing. But the fact is, they're just embarassed to admit that they actually did. The other day, I overheard a couple of bookstore clerks complaining because they're constantly mopping up the little puddles people leave behind by the display. True story.
Look, people. Don't make me pull a virtual suckerpunch. Buy this book and THEN come back and tell me that you made it through the whole thing without a tinkle.
