The best of the negative voices

In this small book, you'll find just about every negative quote about any celebrity. For that matter, many quotes put down entire groups of people in one or two short sentances. You won't find the quotes that appear in the daily cryptoquote, but you'll find interesting stuff. The most unflattering thing I can say is that this book is tremendously negative. If your read it for awhile, you'll laugh, but you'll begin to wonder if any celebrities like anything.

Indispensable!

I giggled for HOURS over this book. This is the ultimate collection of quotes. A must have. Perfect when trying to find just the right line that fits for an upcoming speech or when trying to give life to those staid management reports. Highly recommended!
