Book Reviews of The Areas of My Expertise
Book Review: A Message From Gila Monster, Jr. :
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who enjoys the absurd, I've found this book to be a hilarious and thought provoking (Seriously, who WOULD win in a battle between duck-billed platypi and man?) additon to my collection. Mr. Hodgman's writing, like that of Kurt Vonnegut, is non-sensical, yet strangely truthful (except that the entire book is made up of lies). And even though I am only 60 pages into the book, I can honestly say it's a page turner. By that, of course, I mean you actually have to turn the pages yourself, which, incidentally, is why I'm only on page 64. The paper in this book is just so heavy and thick.
With writing this captivating, it's only a matter of time before the book is made into a movie. At which point, you'll see me outside your local theatre telling you that the book was so much better than the movie (except for the EPIC duckbilled platypi vs man battle scene - no collection of words could ever top a multimillion dollar CGI extravaganza of that sort.)
