Title: Tries desperately to be funny and clever...
Review: but fails miserably. I think this book is actually a shaggy dog joke rather than a book that anyone has actually enjoyed. Between the John Stewart appearance, the viral spam marketing campaign, and the 5 star reviews here on this site, the joke is on whoever purchases this book. I get it. It's "viral marketing", it's "post modern", it's a meta-joke. It's just not in any way amusing or entertaining. Painful to read, it reminds me of nothing so much as what Dave Barry was probably writing when he was in junior high school. Trust me, you have funnier friends than this author. Go trade an email or two with someone who is actually witty and clever and you'll be a lot better off.
Is the review positive or negative?
