Book Reviews of Mountain Man Dance Moves: The McSweeney's Book of Lists
Book Review: A List About the Book "Mountain Man Dance Moves"
Summary: 5 Stars
1. "Mountain Man Dance Moves" is a book of lists compiled by the Editors of McSweeney's.
2. Many of the lists are very, very funny in a strange sort of way, like "Eight Reasons Why a Tyrannosaur Caught in a Tornado is a Funny Thing to Think About" (No. 1: "The tiny, flailing arms.")
3. Some of the lists are quirky and almost zen-like, such as "Clocks Ranked According to the Ease with Which One Can Tell Time From Them (Easiest to Hardest): "1. Digital; 2. Not Digital."
4. Many of the lists are about unicorns, some of which are funny, like "Signs Your Unicorn is Cheating on You."
5. Some of the unicorn lists are kind of strange. But in a good way.
6. If you think "Monty Python" is the apotheosis of modern humor, you will probably like this book.
7. If you think "Mayberry RFD" is the apotheosis of modern humor, you will not like this book.
8. You will probably like "Mountain Man Dance Moves" if you find the following lightbulb joke inexplicably amusing: "Q: How many surrealists does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: To get to the other side." (Bonus points if you also like the alternate answer: "Two. One to hold the giraffe and the other to put the clocks in the bathtub.")
9. If you have every laughed uncontrollably at a Henny Youngman joke, this may not be the book for you.
10. I liked this book a lot, but then I have a kind of strange sense of humor.
