Title: Too light on humor, too thin on style
Product review: I know humor is subjective, but I just didn't laugh at this book. I might have chuckled once or twice, but all in all it doesn't stack up well against a lot of similarly themed (and titled) books that do a much better job of parodying the self-help manual. The tone never felt right, and it seemed like the author didn't have many ideas. This is an odd example, but one thing that made the book feel thin is that the illustrations (quite nice, btw) were captioned with a direct quote from the text, not even a rephrase - no additional jokes were written.I don't want this review to come off as mean spirited or anything. Ultimately this book is best described as harmless - which for a humor book is never a good thing.
