Customer Reviews

Funniest laugh out loud book ever.

I borrowed this book from the library several years ago and read it in three days. It was hilarious! Had a coworker read it as well within the "borrow" time that I had left just so I could share a laugh of how insanely funny it was. I ran across this website, found the book, bought it, re-read it and laughed just as hard as the first time. Passed it on to the same co-worker who has been asking me the name of the book for months. Highly recommended if you need a good laugh.
