Don't have a cow, man!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

I found the book Bart Simpson's Guide to Life on readitswapit, a book-swapping website, I didn't know anything about it but then I read underneath Bart Simpson's Guide To Life: "A Wee Handbook for the Perplexed". It was then when I decided to get Bart Simpson's Guide To Life. --- The book is 187 pages long, and each page has something different on it, you can tell where's where by looking at the contents: Introduction School Food Health & Fitness ...
...Parents Art & Culture Science Language & Communication Animals Sex Psychology Law & Order Xmas Strange Facts Religion Conclusion Index As you can tell, a lot of topics, there are sub-topics in the topics, so in one topic e.g. Parents, you would have something about "lies they tell you" --- Even though the book is a humour book, I sometimes you some of the stuff in the handbook, it's funny, but helpful --- The meaning of life was ...

Review of Bart Simpson's Guide to Life (A Wee Handbook for the Perplexed) - Matt Groening

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? ...

Review of Whose Side are They on - Alan Pearce

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 ...

Review of The Customer Is Not Always Right - A.J. Adams

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 ...

Review of Bad Cat - Jim Edgar

Joy all day long

Advantages: Unique brand of humorous writing
Disadvantages: Not the best Jeeves and Wooster

...to a shuddering halt. Joy in the Morning (which I hadn’t read before) is a complete middle-of-the-road Jeeves and Wooster offering, neither pippin nor purler, as Bertie might say. It has a typical plot and all the usual elements of the Wodehouse world, so it’s no surprise that it was first published in 1947, right in the middle of Wodehouse’s output. One of the challenges issued by Wodehouse-lovers to Wodehouse-sceptics is to summarise the fiendishly ...
...but abandoned it. It would take too long and would spoil it for you; that, and, to be honest, it’s way too difficult. But like all his stories, despite events coming thick and fast, there’s not a single superfluous detail and the sheer craft of making it all come together is beautiful to behold. Of course it’s silly and pointless, but, and this is the thing, it’s not silly and pointless in the world Wodehouse creates and sucks you into. So we accept ...
