review 1: A different flavor of the "worst-case scenario survival" guides. The section "how to curse someone" reads like an actual how-to, without a single chuckle. But "How to survive watching a cursed Japanese videotape" or "How to catch a unicorn" make you laugh before you even start reading them. Plenty of pop-culture references, but not enough laughs for me to recommend it to any but true paranormal/dark humor fans.
review 2: A fun, quick read, for the hour or so I took paging through it. It's very much like their other "Worst Case" books, though it isn't as funny as their dating one. I couldn't shake the feeling that they read a copy of Zombie Survival Guide while watching Twilight and decided to crank this out. I can't recommend this book at the full price; there... more are many other, better, spoofs on the genre out there. But if you picked it up for $4. 99 at Urban Outfitters like I did? It's well worth the cost of a pint. less
