review 1: I found this book to be not evocative of any of the authors mentioned in the description - Robbins, Sedaris, and Vonnegut. This was a bait and switch. It tried to hard to funny. It sort of screamed - look at how banal yet interesting my life is, just like Sedaris! It didn't need to do that. The stories might have been good on their own merit if they were rounded out and complete. Finally put it down 66% through.
review 2: The Fried Twinkie Manifesto had me both laughing out loud and crying. The stories ranged from childhood adventures, to those about being an adult. Many of the stories I could personally relate to or I knew someone who went through something similar. But Ryan Moehring was able to articulate the humor and horror for those experiences far bett... moreer (and funnier) than I ever could have. Ryan has a very witty voice, and under the layers of all the humor lays a deeper understanding of what all the craziness means and how those events shape your life. Ryan shows true promise as a writer and I greatly look forward to his next published work. less
