review 1: With the exception of one of two stories that I skipped, this was a really fun read. Quirky little stories told in a quirky way. That's my kind of thing. A few of the stories that stuck out for me was the woman who attempted her own boat ferry business in New York that ended horribly and an uncensored Ms. Peppermint trying to sell candy to kids in an expensive toy store. randomness: The story about the woman who worked at Ms. Peppermint at FAO Schwarz toy store also appeared in another book I was reading the same week, Rejected: Tales of the Failed, Dumped, and Canceled. Lately, I have been finding the seemingly random books I pick out from the local library keep referencing each other.
review 2: This is a fun collection of 20 short, candid memoirs told in comi... morec format. Each panel is composed on a post-it note. I could easily imagine the stories appearing on an episode of "This American Life." They cover a wide range of topics (author Mary Roach interviews Nicolas Cage and gets stranded at his apartment when she misses her plane, musician Andrew Bird entertains people in line for the privy at a Renaissance Fair, comedian Kristen Schaal becomes Miss Peppermint Twist at FAO Schwarz, and astyrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson journies to Chili to watch the skies) by a wide range of people. less
