review 1: This book was not at all what I was expecting. I spent most of it with a confused look on my face, inwardly wondering, "Is this for real? Am I being trolled?" This was sold to me (via a segment on WBUR) as a book on improving your social skills, but it's so full of zany, absurd humor that there's nary a useful tip to be found in the whole thing.I think if it had been presented to me as humorous, I could have dealt with it, and might have even appreciated the humor, but I went into it expecting advice and was completely disappointed.Well, if nothing else I had my first experience of wishing I could return an ebook.
review 2: If it were possible, I would give this book three and a half stars, mainly because it is really silly, occasionally very funny, and sometim... morees, yes, actually useful. I think if you read it as a humor book and not in any way an actual guide to small talk, it probably warrants the fourth star. I did laugh out loud, and some things (like the list of conversational topics for talking to children eight and under) were genuinely hilarious. It is also a very quick read. less
