Rating: Summary: a big pile of nothing Review: This book is just embarrassingly amateurish and awful. Mebus's characters make sitcom characters look like Shakespearean figures, his dirty jokes are vaguely misogynist, his writing ranges from bland to offensive. I'm sorry I bought it.
Rating: Summary: just fun Review: This book is so good! It's not like an award winner, but it is so funny! Plus, there are a lot of insights about friends and love and embarassing things that ring so true.
Rating: Summary: Dreadful just dreadful ! Review: This book was appalling , it was profoundly unfunny and dull prehaps the author should keep his day job at MTV
Rating: Summary: Pretty Freakin' Funny Review: This was a funny-ass book. I kept laughing out loud on the subway while I was reading it. Course, I was reading the part where the guy in the book has an "incident" on the subway, so it seemed pretty appropriate. Anyway, any book that makes me laugh out loud in public is worth picking up, so pick it up.
Rating: Summary: shallow but with one very funny part Review: This was a very shallow book trying to be deep and meaningful. As I was reading the book, I was wondering how the heck did it ever get published since it really is not that good, and then I read the back cover, I found that the author worked at one time for MTV - so it explains a lot. The story is similar to one of those brainless "soap-opera" sitcoms that they sometimes have on MTV. Anyways, I just kept reading because I wanted to find out what would happen. It was hard work forcing myself to read it through, but I did. There is one very gut-splitting funny part in the book, that thoroughly rewards you for plowing through the book. Towards the end, the book becomes very disjointed as it jumps from one story to another, as if it changes its mind suddenly and becomes a collection of short stories instead. If anything, I'd advise one to read it for the one really good laugh that it has. I have never laughed so hard in a long time from reading a book.
Rating: Summary: One of the funniest and most touching books in a long time Review: Told with a liberal dash of humor this book gives a glimpse into the life of the urban male. His obsessions and relations. His conquests and failures. And most importantly his search for that perfect mate.
Rating: Summary: Fireworks Review: Wow, from the opening pages of this new book I connected with the personality and angst of the main character as he shuffles forward through this labyrinth of life. His turns, and ups and downs, are funny, even laugh out loud funny, but also illuminating.Underscores a few basic truthes, that life is about how you deal with the tough times and maintain a balanced approach to the world around you, even though it will often sneak up and bite you. Not heavy, all this is presented via a group of characters who have been fun to be with. Scott, bring on the next.
