Book Reviews of Things that Suck
Book Review: Okay so this doesn't suck
Summary: 3 Stars
but it's just a book full of simple phrases of things that suck like
bar of soap breaking in half
socks falling down
underwear falling down
Michael McDonald
Applebee's
I don't think these are in the book but you get the idea. Mind you this book made me laugh and I did enjoy it - it's just not what I was expecting and that sucks for me. I'm sure it's probably made clear in the description above that I probably just skimmed over so I guess it's really me that sucks. One cool thing about this book is there are blank pages on the left which to me is best suited to writing things that suck which are not already in the book [the above are my additions], your favourites of things that suck, grocery list, whatever..
I came upon this looking for a darkly funny book...I'd recommend A Dirty Job.
Summary of Things that Suck
THE LIST IS LIFEThought no one would bother listing every annoying thing in life? Wrong. Figured no one would ever consider putting it all in a book? Wrong again. So what's the most annoying thing that's happened to you in the past week? Bit your tongue? Dumped by text message? Lost your job? Spilled Diet Coke into your laptop? Just keep going. Because it turns out that misery makes great company. Turn to any page in the book and we promise your own cr*p will make you feel better.
potholes
dog bites
oil spills
toxic waste
coffee breath
the morning commute
the evening commute
the nightly news
the daily grind
overly perky people
people who think they're great at British accents...
Introducing Things that Suck, a sort of curmudgeon Zen master's handbook. What Roget does for synonyms, we're doing for pet peeves. Our goal is simple: We list. You laugh. Once a plan starts getting complicated, that's when things go wrong. So take comfort in the fact that a book without any complete sentences can bring a smile to your face. A book with no plot to follow. Where you can be the main character. And by the end, you'll find yourself thinking, "I wish there were more things that sucked!"
