Title: This Was Funny?
Review: I alternate my reading between fiction, non-fiction, travel, politics, humor and my hobbies (sailing and scuba). I rarely say that a book has nothing to offer, even if I disagree with a non-fiction position for example. Skip this book ... it has nothing to offer a reader looking for funny, life experieinces or creative insight. I can't remember having read a book this pointless in the last 15 or so years.(Jan 2013 - re-review) So, I picked this up again to see if maybe I was having a bad year and my review was unfair: it's not. I feel bad that someone actually is going to profit off of my book purchase. The conclusion I reached when I re-read the book is this: Trying to be funny in pointing out the disparity between wealthy and poor is possible, and I actually enjoy it. Think David Sadaris or Dave Barry. Those two authors use clever, creative writing, which is unfortunately missing from this book.
