Negative Positive
Title: Quick-reading, funny, original; contains no chase scenes.
Review: The genius of Valley is the easy pace and superdetailed examination of life's "marginalia": those fringe moments, greasy people, and sketchy places you notice and, if you know what's good for you, you pay very little attention to. Mike Daily has richly documented a couple hundred pages worth of joy, madness and discomfort, San Fernando Valley style. It made me laugh and itch. My own copy of the book has been passed along to several friends who took it like a wallop on the side of the head with a burning Duralog. Bonus: Bendpress provides quite a tasty layout--pleasant on the eye and the brain.
