Negative Positive
Title: A gas of an idea that comes off smelling bad.
Review: The book really was a good idea, but the author seemed more wrapped up in repeated use of juvenile adjectives and slang while ignoring a golden opportunity of composing a good work of social history on an amusing topic.If you are a bonifide reader of history, and think you are getting a scholarly read, think again.The best part of the book is the cover. It draws attention to the book, and if you leave it on the coffee table, visitors are drawn to it. Then their reaction is priceless. They are shocked at first, if not grossed out, but soon can't help thumbing through it and can't put it down.All in all, its not much more than an adult version of "The Gas We Pass".
