A very funny read Advantages: Funny, witty Disadvantages: Need to know the harry potter books to understand it Having heard about this book i decided to buy it. It definately displays a unique charm. I like the Harry Potter books and this is certainly a darker, funnier, cruder version. The writing isn't as good as JK Rowling's but it's still a very interesting read. The author's use of crude humour, easy jokes, and poking fun at itself makes it hilarious. The plot is fast paced, and can sometimes get confusing and hard to follow. Although sometimes it seems ... ...a good, well-worth read. It is way funnier than Harry Potter and some could argue better. More aimed at older readers though but if you like parodies or Harry Potter, or if you hate Harry Potter from his stupid scar to his pet owl's droppings, you should read this funny book. ... sn33zy440 21.06.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody - Michael Gerber
The Last Laugh Advantages: A bonus for Milligan fans Disadvantages: There won't be any more ...18', one of Milligan's meticulously-arranged box files in which he kept every scrap of paperwork, both personal and professional. Included in this posthumously-released anthology are various pages from Spike's appointment diaries, several unfinished (as far as Milligan was concerned) scripts, poems and stories, together with a selection of his drawings, photographs, and letters to friends and figures of authority, among them Princes Charles and ... ...Milligan didn't consider any of Box 18's contents to be ready for public airing, how much of it is up to his usual standard and actually worth publishing. It's a valid question to ask, and indeed, it isn't difficult to see why some of the sketches, for example, never made it beyond his filing system; for the most part, though, the book is vintage Milligan, and on balance, I believe Farnes was right to let his fans have one last laugh.

Classic, satirical Clarkson. Advantages: A hilarious read. A large variety of subject matter, brilliantly used for humourous effect. Disadvantages: Best read in short burts. Dry humour may wear thin after prolonged reads. ...do things differently. Born To Be Riled is, in my humble opinion, best read three or four chapters at a time when you have a spare fifteen minutes. Possibly between snoozes on a flight to your favourite holiday destination or on your lunch break at work when you could use some cheering up. In my opinion Born to Be Riled is a fantastic break from all the generic comedy books, getting straight to the point. Clarkson is fearless about insulting anyone ...

Lock, Stock and One Smoking Barrel Advantages: The Santaland Diaires, gives 'freaks' a voice Disadvantages: Some stories are too dark and disturbing to be funny Barrel Fever is a collection of short stories that have come from the twisted mind of David Sedaris and some essays that have come from the equally twisted life of David Sedaris. His humour is bleak, dark, disturbing and also laugh-out-loud funny. In his stories Sedaris writes as a horny teenager, a waster, an unloved suicidal woman, a father who's doesn't bother with hospitals because he believes he can treat everything himself - each one an American ... ...the wonderful Santaland Diaries, detailing Sedaris' time working in Macy's as an elf - you'll never think of the department store Santa in the same way again! His humour is very near the bone and sometimes Sedaris goes too far and repulses his readers. But in the end the writer's unusual way of looking at things and clever obsevations save the day making this a must-read book. ...
