Book Reviews of The Dysfunctional Family Funbook: Games & Activities to Keep You Sane Your Whole Visit Home
Book Review: Absolutely Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
The first page of the book says:
In case of emergency--or if not seen or heard from after end date of travel call: ___my cell number_____
If unreachable at above number please call: ___my therapist's number___
A perfect way to start off this tounge-in-cheek funbook. Not only is this book exceptionally funny, but the authors actually give some great tidbits of advice. From activities like creating your own haiku for the holidays (and their sample haiku is hilarious) to the "12 step" crossword search--you will kill time and get child-like enjoyment of playing with word searches, hidden pictures, and trivia.
I'm getting one for every friend I know who is going home for the holidays.
Book Review: Fantastic Gift!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book for an extended family member who was going through a difficult time. From the minute she opened it the laughter started. The whole family joined in and actually "bonded" over their recognized dysfunction. It completely lightened the mood. Outstanding book! I highly recommend it-especially for the holidays!!!Book Review: Hysterical!
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally! A book I can gift to EVERY friend I have! I loved it, I laughed until I cried, and just finished ordering one for my folks actually. I have never felt compelled to leave a customer review until now. Book Review: Puts the FUN in dysfunctional.
Summary: 4 Stars
The book is great. Bordering on brilliant, then it tells brilliant that it was a mistake and it had to give up its dreams to take care of it. Now that's dysfunctional!
Seriously, though, it's a (darkly) hilarious concept, and Brockett pulls it off at every flip of the page. It's full of witty asides and tongue-in-cheek advice that spark mini epiphanies, causing you to shout out, "Yes! That's so true!" in between guffaws. Brockett hits the nail on the head, over and over again... and all in an easy-to-swallow, beautifully published activity book! Get out your Crayolas and let the healing begin.
Book Review: Wicked, Subversive Fun...!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is just a really fun way to survive your family if they make you crazy (and whose family doesn't - right!?) I am a huge fan of word games and crafty stuff and wiling away hours doing silly projects... this book is perfect for that. Plus there is the added bonus of the last chapter - coping. It is fun and self helpy without actually being self helpy! Yay! I am definitely buying some more copies for my friends.
