review 1: eh.started out awful and pretty boring. after a while, there were a few gems, but i can't tell if it's because he lulled me into expecting less, so when it was funny, it was unexpected and welcome.the type of writing that goes on and on about a ridiculous topic, with a "zinger" at the end."Fun to read while you're pooping." -- Sarah Silverman"fun" might be a bit of a stretch, but it's mildly entertaining. ish.read: two thirds and had to stop
review 2: There are 50 essays in this book from the sarcastic and absurd comic mind of Michael Ian Black and while not all of them are winners there are enough hits for me to say I enjoyed this book. It is probably more of a 3.5 star than four but I was generous because even the topics that miss are very creative. I loved... more the back to back essays about the halftime speech of a coach with low-self esteem who is a) losing 48-3 and then b) winning 48-3. Some of the two best essays are ones where Michael is having a one sided letter correspondence with people (like the gal he first fingered). And the my fav was his speech to the guy who backed him on his plan to make low calorie beer that tastes like ass. As I said, there are many that didn't get a laugh out of me but they were all creative and my type of absurd humour. And while a few were on the dirty side they were more dirty in a naughty way as opposed to a filthy way. I look forward to reading more books by this comic genius. less
