Title: Brilliant...and insane
Review: This is seriously, frighteningly, hypnotizingly funny stuff. Line after line, page after page, Hodgman is like a gymnast, always adding one more flip, one more twist, threatening to fall flat on his face before he miraculously sticks the landing. He's channeling the best kind of surreality here--from Woody Allen to Douglas Adams (before you knew Adams' schtick by heart). In fact AOME is a kind of Hitchhiker's Guide to our own universe. After a while, you start to wonder if the world wouldn't in fact be a better, more honest place if it contained furry lobsters, a hobo named Freak Le Freak The Freakster and a U.S territory called The Applebees' All-You-Can-Eat Riblets State (nee Kansas).I'm not sure I would like to meet Mr. Hodgman in a dark alley, but I am glad he wrote this book.
