Title: Queenan dropped the ball.
Review: This book could have been a funny, nasty little read. Instead, it only offered three or four good laughs and half a dozen insights. Even though the chapter is one of the funniest, everyone alright knows that Cannonball Run II is BAD. Ditto for Branson, MO and John Tesh. It's when Queenan is tearing down sacred cows that he is at his best. Particularly nasty were the (well-deserved) attacks on Billy Joel and the author of The Bridges of Madison County. Too often, however, the author just lists things that he thought "sucked" rather than explaining why they sucked. He also makes sure we know that he had good taste before his misadventures in writing this book. Elvis Costello recieved more mentions in this book than in his autobiography. Queenan is a much funnier man being interviewed than on paper. The book's only redeeming quality? Queenan found Evil Dead II to be "watchable."
