review 1: (I am taking the time to follow the author's quick-and-easy fill-out review form, which is appended at the back pages. I apologize if I fail to please your palette. Hah.)The loquacious “How to Fail” is so incredibly sexy that you can fish hot chicks with it just by dangling a spine in front of them. Although, sometimes it may also take your creepy friend to simultaneously be dangling another spine behind them, ha ha. Which would truly by THE tour de… ugly resource of pleasurable activity in your otherwise non-loquacious life. But, after reading this book, your life will vastly improve, and not in some amazingly labyrinthical way but in something simpler than that. In Mickey Mouse & Daisy Duck you will now have friends for 350 starting pages of Hemingwayesque magical ... morerealism who might even cause you to make a mess in your pants in just a(n) infinitesimal second. You’ll be so addicted to this book’. You’ll prefer it to even farting or touching you uvula or rubbing or even going to a book burning, not because you’re religious or something but because you like to burn shitty books such as The Bible by such a scanty author as The God of the Israelites. You’ll burn fifty-eight-point-three-six-seven other classic books too because they all pale in comparison to “How to Fail”. Shit, they might even have to make you and your gang’s book burnings into a national holiday which would be even bigger than Hanukah.*BOW*
review 2: Disclaimer #1: I exchanged books with the author. I sent him mine and vice-versa.Disclaimer #2: I don't give too many five star reviews.Disclaimer #3: I'm kind of friendly with the author, but in a very platonic way.Disclaimer #4: I hate anodyne books that don't entertain me or teach me something.Disclaimer #5: Not a book for those who, er, don't dig profanity.OK...I got that off of my chest. I like How to Fail because Goldfarb wears his heart on his sleeve. This isn't a "safe" book and I'm sure that many if not most publishers wouldn't come within five miles of it. Parts of this book had me laughing out loud. Goldfarb gets an "A" for creativity. I'd rather read risque books that offend me sometimes than books that bore me. I was reminded at times of Chuck Klosterman (one of my favorite pop culture authors). Great first book. I can't wait for the rest. less
