Book Reviews of Red Green's Duct Tape Is Not Enough
Book Review: Fun read, explains the middle ager
Summary: 5 Stars
There are people like me out there, people who are not old. We get a bad rap, which is fine, but then again, we're not old, so we don't really care. However, in this book everyone can get and enjoy a dose of worldly wisdom from Steve Smith, the head honcho from the Public Television show "The Red Green Show." I admit, I almost didn't give this book five stars. At times the jokes are stale, and the various essays can sometimes be short. However, the total entertainment value is maintained. And really, aren't old people supposed to have stale jokes? ;-)
Sarcasm aside, Steve Smith has a sharp mind and makes great points about getting older. And in a way it helps show us young people that getting old is not something we can dodge, but that it can be done with optimism. Get it, read it, share it.
Book Review: Canadian Sense Of Humor, Eh?
Summary: 5 Stars
READING IT I found myself laughing aloud in the public space. I know that some liberal, artsy-fartsy Canuck snobs roll their eyes if Red Green's cult TV show is mentioned, but the man has a marvellously wry sense of humor that keeps hitting the mark without ever being offensive. Yet the ugly utilitarian snout of Political Correctness gets smashed to bits too. It's amazing how just the plain old common sense arrived at from the real life observations could make you roar with laughter. This is the populist humor at its democratic best.
Well, yes. The answer is yes. The Canadians have it. The sense of humor that is. Eh? Eh!
Book Review: A gem on each page!
Summary: 5 Stars
214 pages full advice, in the form of one or two page articles. These pebbles of knowledge, these gems of wisdom, these lumps of wit will help you with all kinds of questions you might have. Questions like; When should I sut up? Do gifts have a message? What expressions give away my age? And much much more! There are also quotes of the day on every few pages. All in a lovely and colorful paperback cover. You might say, "But how can I pay for such a book? Do I sell my blood? Can I trade in my first born? Do I have to go to Canada?" HA! Don't worry, the book is well within your means, new or used! Buy it now!Book Review: More Duct Tape

As a Red Green fan I enjoyed the book. Even though it's written aimed at getting older it's still a laugh a minute. The insight in the book matches the show's humor and can't help but bring a smile to your face. Wether your a long time fan or just starting this is a must read.Book Review: Red Green At His Best
