review 1: This creative and hilarious book summarizes mythology, the classics, and even modern wonders such as The Hunger Games with texts that famous literary characters may have sent to each other, if provided a cell phone! The pages look like texts straight from your iPhone, with different colors, bubbles, and all. Warning: you must be well-read to understand these texts. If you don't know the characters, you won't think the texts are funny. A fabulous gift for the holidays -- give it to your favorite reader!
review 2: This was a super fun little volume, read it in probably under an hour. It's impossible to miss Ortberg's particular brand of humor, and I was laughing aloud before I'd gotten 10 pages in. Fans of Ortberg as well as avid readers with a similarly quirky ... moreappreciation for mockery and absurdity will love this book and find themselves thinking of particular lines whenever they're reminded of the works satirized here. less
