review 1: I actually never finished this book, but by adding it to my Goodreads, I appear to be more well-read. See, Dan Wilbur taught me something!!Just kidding. How Not to Read is actually quite funny, and it neither rushes through its jokes nor overstays its welcome. Bonus: it comes with a section of parody book cover graphics (from Wilbur's Tumblr of note, Better Book Titles). I'm comfortable recommending it.
review 2: There's a lot of too-cool-for-schoolness happening in bookstores across the land (I've watched from behind the counter a good chunk of a decade), what's so delightful about this book is that it is NOT to cool for school, although it might look like it is, it's the farthest from too cool for school as a book can be. Dan Wilbur is the elementary scho... moreol kid on the playground engaging in endless pratfalls and eating gross things for pocket change in turn leading you through all the phases of "I'm laughing to be mean," "I'm laughing for real a little," "I'm laughing genuinely now and my day is better," "Okay, it's getting a little old now, I am now laughing to be polite," "Okay, I really can't keep fake laughing much longer you're starting to make me really sad," "your youthful enthusiasm has made me laugh again, and filled me with a slight newfound enjoyment of life."It's rare to really laugh out loud during a book. This just might do that for you. Just know what it is. It's the whole gamut of low to high brow humor, and if you love to laugh, and you love life, you will probably delight in this book. less
