content: This book is a masterpiece of blockheads describing other blockheads, and yet failing to give us any vision of triumph over the stupidity. While many consider it funny, I found the jokes quite stale and the characterizations so blindly obvious that they'd even be out of place on South Park. When does the anti-dunce show up? It's not the protagonist nor, seemingly, the author. I can find no shortage of people overflowing with praise for this tepid hulk of verbiage, but to this experienced reader, it's like bad TV made by hopeless people for an audience of depressed, not very smart people. I would not recommend this to anyone.
