Book Reviews of Our Dumb World
Book Review: Almost perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
I laugh so hard my gut hurts as I read this book. For the most part, it is exactly what I wanted and expected: A humorous book to entertain me. It does tend to be a little too lefty at times though. For example, even the chapters about other countries slip in U.S.-bashing every chance they get. And the entry on Canada comes across more to me as an exultation of Canada being unlike America than any satire or criticism of Canada itself. However, it's not all a left-wing love-fest! I particularly LOVE the part in Chile that references annoying college students who pronounce it CHEE-lay - I almost died laughing! As long as you can tolerate a little bias, it really is extremely funny. So far, my favorite part is Florida - you have to see this! And I still have a lot to go.Book Review: Exactly what I expected

My BF got this to give to his grandfather, who loves politics but has never seen or heard of The Onion. We took a look through it and it was just as good as the issue that comes out every Thursday. I don't know if he will end up giving it to his grandfather, however, since there are frequent inappropriate pictures (child porn, anyone?). But this would make a great coffee table book in any young household, and you can be sure that it will engender quite a conversation.Book Review: Great book if you like The Onion

An outrageously funny look at the globe. If you like The Onion humour, you will love this book. For those not familiar with The Onion humour, be warned that it may offend since they play on pretty much every stereotype out there. Check out their website http://www.theonion.com/ to see if you like their humour before buying the book.Book Review: Great pick and drop literature

I loved this book! Its a great Christmas or Birthday gift for those who appreciate off-beat humor, especially the nerdy kind. I have it in the reading rack permanently and anytime I have a few minutes I pick it up and read a few pages. Awesomely funny!Book Review: Hilarious book!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is very sarcastic and makes fun of just about everything. So if you get offended easily, don't read this book. It also has quite a bit of foul language (swearing and such) which is the one downside to it.
