review 1: Unfortunately, the whole is not as good as the sum of its named contributors. Don’t get me wrong – the book is funny. But it was not what I expected. Instead of short 3-5 page essays from each writer, we get 5-7 Dear Abbey style questions addressed to and answered by each writer, in varying degrees of hilarity. All told, the book is a fine way to pass the time on a morning subway ride but I didn’t laugh out loud more than a handful of times.
review 2: I really should've trusted the reviews on this one, but I held out hope it would be better than many seemed to think. It was not. The Judd Apatow written section was miles above any of the others, and it was only about 3 pages long and came far too early in the book to keep the what followed from being a
... more slog. The Eugene Mirman advice was the next most amusing, most likely because I could hear his "voice" so well thanks to the wonderful TV show that is Bob's Burgers. Unfortunately, none of the other contributions are entertaining or even memorable. less
