Negative Positive
Title: Ugly, Yes; Funny, No
Review: I went into this book with both eyes open -- i.e., fully aware of Bill Maher's free-floating anger and, in particular, of his foam-at-the-mouth loathing of the Catholic Church (his ugliest trait). Despite this preparation, however, I was completely taken aback by the virulence of the rage and hatred that wafts from every page. There's a stench about this book; it stinks of full-blown pathology, and there's nothing remotely funny about that.
Is the review positive or negative?
