Review:Like many of my fellow feline enthusiasts, I have followed Simon's Cat on the internet for some time. When I found out that there was a book prepared in his honour, I was more than a little interested. After reviewing several pages, I was hooked. You may think that something is lost in translation ~~ a video clip type of approach to a stop action book approach, but Simon's Cat is just as wonderful in print as he is on internet. One of the best books I have purchased in quite some time. Read more

Review:This book is great! Real Stories from the funeral business and whats even more funny, now that I work in the funeral business is that its is spot-on..These things really happen in funeral homes all over the country, Read more

Review:Great read! I've always wanted to know more about something that affects everyone so dearly. It was very interesting and even hilarious. Yes, there can be humor, even in death. Ultimately, it was very respectably written, and gave educational insight into a little known field. Read more

Review:Round Two with Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom starts in July 1969. Ten years have past since "Rabbit, Run" and the 36-year-old is muddling through a ho-hum existence. His shot at the American Dream has fallen very short. The book delves into the Vietnam War, women's rights, infidelity, racism, drug experimentation and a youth culture disillusioned with the status quo. Rabbit, a product of an earlier generation, is confused and frightened by the social upheaval taking place around him. Nothing seems con... Read more

Review:I've recommended, lent, and gifted this book to many friends since I first read it. I've even bought a print copy for myself, since my first encounter was through an audiobook. It alternately makes me nod in agreement, hang my head in shame (that I have fallen victim to the same thinking traps being described), laugh at myself (or at others), and smile with the pleasure of learning something new and useful. I find its concepts to be useful in everyday life, sometimes helping me avoid arguments w... Read more

Review:This book was difficult for me to rate. The first half, I disliked mostly everyone in it, including the main character. By the end, I was really liking the book. So I split the difference with a rating of 3. Read more

Review:Clever idea, something of a letdown in the execution.
In typical hypocritical fashion, towards the second half of the book we learn that one character hates guns, another bemoans the availability of guns, and we are then treated to an extended action sequence where guns are used about as much as in a Rambo movie. I would have preferred my Scooby Doo without the author's politics.
Still, there are some parts that are well done. The general layout of this alternate Scooby world is pretty goo... Read more

Review:Pretty silly book. Entertaining to those who enjoy actual taxidermy, or who think ugly things are hilarious.

Some of the so-called "crap" taxidermy showcased in this book, however, are actually expertly created works of art intentionally designed to look unusual. The cover of the book, for example, is an art piece created by the world renowned Geza Szollosi, a Hungarian artist who is also known for his inflatable, balloon-like cow faces. The difference between these and actually terrible ... Read more

Review:Checked this out from the library. My 14 year old son found it as hilarious as I did. My 11 year old son mostly just pitied the dino. When I insisted a friend read it he did and then promptly put on his T-Rex costume I forgot he had. Read more
