Title: Trying too hard
Review: This book is not that funny. True, there are a few clever ideas here, but for the most part, the author just seems to try and be over the top in her writing, with emphasis on the profane and disgusting. I don't find things funny just because they are profane and take away the disgusting elements of this book and you don't have much of a book. This book wasn't worth what I paid for it. I read it, although I'll admit not to the end. (I get bored when authors repeat themselves as this book tends to do.)I threw the book in the garbage and wished I had just checked it out of the library. Too bad, I understand Ms. Browne can write. She reportedly wrote some very clever and intelligently funny newspaper columns that appeared in the Jackson, Miss. newspaper.
Is the review positive or negative?
