Me Write Pretty One Day? Advantages: Interesting, unusual style and content Disadvantages: A one-off type of book, when really you could do with a series of 2 or 3 to enjoy. ...just the style that made me think of this point though – when I was at school I would have been admonished (in the days before I knew that 3 syllable words existed) for flitting between 1st and 3rd person, and from past to present to future tenses, all within one story. Sedaris, though, gets away with this all in the name of “art” and to be honest, the result isn’t as horrifying as it could be. I saw this book in the British Bookshop on Vienna’s ... ...took me until 7 months later to get a copy of it because I was holding out for the mainstream paperback edition to be released. When it was, it didn't appear in highstreet bookshops for quite a few days showing that despite the famous author, it's not quite a Bridget Jones / Harry Potter release. Once it was within my grasp, it was read from cover to cover in 3 nights, with every morsel being savoured and enjoyed. Think Bill Bryson without quite ... zoe_page 27.03.2005 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Me Talk Pretty One Day - David Sedaris
Ride'em, Jewboy Advantages: Witty, wise-cracking, winsome Disadvantages: Losesome too ...by that, let’s concentrate on Meanwhile Back at the Ranch. MBatR is vintage Kinky Friedman, a polished exposition of the formula he has made his own. The formula is half detective story, half semi-surrealistic comedy. The stories are all told in the first person and the leading character is, of course, none other than Kinky himself. Kinky fancies himself as Sherlock Holmes, and tends to address his sidekicks as Watson, but the impression conveyed ... ...* * * Meanwhile Back at the Ranch is published in the UK by Faber and Faber; ISBN 0-571-20951-3.

Scarily eye-opening Advantages: Unrivalled in its ability to make you wonder about your government Disadvantages: So much lunacy can get a bit tedious to read after a while ...me, this book is the ultimate eye-opener in terms of the law, and how the government are interfering with our lives. From start to finish, I think that this book was a wonderful read. And best of all, it really does make you wonder, whose side are they on? ...

THE CUSTOMER MIGHT BE WRONG, BUT THEY CAN BE HILARIOUS TOO . . . Advantages: true, hilarious, an easy read, would make a good gift Disadvantages: none! ...basis, so when I found the website www.notalwaysright.com a few months ago, I was immediately hooked and have been popping by almost every day ever since. Not Always Right is a website where people who work or have worked in customer service can submit their stories about just how crazy a customer can be. The site has became so popular that the creator (A.J. Adams) says they have a backlog of THOUSANDS of submissions. And some of the stories are ... ...suppose it was inevitable that the site would end up launching a book based on submissions to the site - so here it is. "The Customer is NOT Always Right" was published this year in the United States and Canada. The book, according to Adams, comprises 100 of the besy stories already published on the site along with 100 brand new, previously unseen stories. I couldn't tell you if these stories had been published in the meantime, but I did find that ...

Grest Laugh of a Book Advantages: Funny, Disadvantages: The humour can be a little crude some times. I belive that this book is a grest preasent or stocking filler for anyone as I myself reseved it. It should bring a smile to anyones face. this book captures the evil side of cats in the funniest side possible and makes you thin, what are they thinking. This is a compeling book and can be read any time anywhere. It's easy to read and not a joke thats not funnny. Jim Edgar has great talent as he can sumourise the thousands of words a picture says ... redk7 04.12.2009 · Read full review Review of Bad Cat - Jim Edgar
