Book Reviews of Our Dumb Century: The Onion Presents 100 Years of Headlines from America's Finest News Source
Book Review: Cute, but a bit tiresome
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been a fan of The Onion for years, and enjoy their weekly newsletter as well as their daily one-minute podcasts. That said, I found this book to be less entertaining - sure there's ribald and sophomoric humor (a la the Harvard Lampoon and then National Lampoon of decades ago) but I guess I prefer my bon-mots in smaller doses.
Plenty clever, but not my first choice in humorous books.
