Title: Just not that funny
Product review: Most of the discussion of this book centers around the controversy of hating or not hating kids. But that was completely lost on me.Because frankly, this book just isn't that funny.I wish I was like the reviewer who read it in the store in 30 minutes. 40 pages in, I think I laughed once. Frost offers nothing but the most pedestrian of observations on children. Her humor and venom is forced, rote, and predictable. She's trying to be the self-proclaimed leader of a revolution that she's neither qualified to lead, nor needs a spokesperson.Frost would have done much better condensing her overdrawn prose and repeated examples into a solid magazine article. As it stands, this book is about 130 pages too long. Good concept, uninteresting execution.And for those calling for a sequel about the parents? Please. Two unfunny attempts at the same subject would be over the top. Sort of like Police Academy II and III.
