Review title: Disappointed
Product review: My son insisted I read this book. I enjoyed "Get A Life" and even "Cabin Boy," even though I appreciate the humor of Chris's father more than I do his. However, I tried to get into this book but could not get beyond the first 50 pages. I found it very self-indulgent, as if he was chortling himself over every "witty" sentence he wrote. Since the age of 10 or so I haven't found it funny for people in the 19th century to supposedly arrive somewhere in an airplane or for people to boast about accomplishments (the charge at San Juan Hill) that haven't happened yet. And what is funny about making Teddy Roosevelt the mayor of New York? I love Monty Python and off-color humor and am open to just about anything, but this just seemed a pointless sophomoric exercise. We got some "Get A Life" DVD's today for Christmas and I'm glad to get back to them.
