review 1: Another book "iteration" of a humorous blog featuring "user" submitted material gathered from the wide weird "world." In this case, "unnecessary" quotation marks, which to me are a particularly funny brand of grammatical weirdness that pops up "frequently" in the wild on daily life. The placement of the "humble" quotation marks in an otherwise commonplace statement such as an ad for "handmade" candy (to give an example I saw personally just yesterday) can open up so much interpretation. Is it actually made by "machine"? Are the feet "used" as well? "Answers" can be limited only by the imagination. Of course, the book is "limited" in what it can present compared to the still "updating" blog, but does concentrate the "good" stuff.
review 2: Couldn't wait to get t... morehis book and read it cover to cover in about an hour, and laughed aloud through the whole thing. Clever, snarky commentary at its best, without being preachy or condescending. I'd give it 5 stars, but can't, since it's really more of a slideshow than a "book," and I think I would have laughed equally hard without much of the commentary. Many of the signs, like one that reads "JESUS" IS COMING, speak for themselves. A must-read for people like me who walk through their days proofreading everything anyway. less
