review 1: Sometimes quite funny and enjoyable, sometimes not really at all. But what would a humor book be if it were not hit-or-miss? I wanted a lighter book of short, humorous selections, and that's what I got. This purchase was due to an NPR list I read, and it was good to get out of my comfort zone to read a young writer and not something dense and critically acclaimed. Sacks is in the same realm as Dave Eggers, but more succinct and more spare. A couple passages or stories were pretty damn funny, and some seemed like filler even in a rather short book. Still, this was a nice break.
review 2: Very funny! Nice to pick up when you need a quick break. I especially loved the "Rhon Penny" letters to authors and the publishers “suggestions” for The Diary of Anne Frank... more ("Fantasy always works, especially with your tween demographic....is there any ambiguous historical evidence for the presence, in Nazi Germany, of hot teenage vampires?" Maybe not quite safe for work if you’re reading the Kama Sutra section! less
