review 1: I have been a subscriber to the gapingvoid blog for a long time, and I really like Hugh's "cartoons drawn on the backs of business cards."This book wasn't as entertaining as "Ignore Everybody" but it had the same irreverent, motivational feel. I liked his twist at the end where he said he tricked the reader, but it didn't really feel like a trick. Hugh has a knack for pointing out the obvious in way that makes you glad he told you.
review 2: Awhile back I was in the library glancing over their section where they put they're new or up and coming novels when I saw this one. Since I'm a blogger I just thought this book would offer me a few chuckles. Unfortunately this book was not amusing, entertaining or witty as I had hoped it would be. In fact I actually had ... moreto force myself to continue reading this itty bitty 128 page book. Throughout the whole book I was waiting for the author to be witty but instead I was met with a mish mash of comics and nonsensical ramblings about the authors life here and there. Plus I was still waiting to see how this book related to blogging at all really.Not once did I ever get a true sense that the author was a blogger until he mentioned it in the text. If he hadn't I would never have known. As for the little comic sketches that he included I thought they were poor drawn but maybe that's his style I don't know but I did not see the point of any of them and thought they added nothing to the book.Overall, I don't really think the book had any purpose really. I mean it was just a bunch of rambling so I never really got the point of it and that in itself was my biggest irritant. I would not recommend this one to anyone but if you do want to read it, borrow it from your library first. less
