Review title: the author thinks himself a wit -- an is half right
Product review: 'the american heretic's dictionary' is a poor imitation of bierce's classic 'the devil's dictionary'. bierce's insight and wit is a two-edged sword striking the foibles of anyone and everyone. 'heretic's dictionary' is a narrow-minded and biased attempt to capitalize on this work by throwing together some cheap-shots at those who disagree with the author's point of view. true, some of the shots are valid, but many are not really and too many are simply petty and vindictive. if you want true insight and satirical comment (still valid after a century), buy the 'devil's dictionary', not this piece of trash
