Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect Graduation Gift!!!
Review: This book is the perfect graduation gift for anyone heading out into the "real world!" Give this book to all your friends in graduate school - it is anything but "anti-inspirational." Sarah Montague's dark humor and unique perspective on career options will resonate with everyone, and have you laughing out loud before you even leave the store.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Rocks!!
Review: This book made me laugh so hard! Sarah Montague nails page by page satires of everyone you've ever imagined regretting meeting. Groening's "Life is Hell" has nothing on what Montague does here.
If you buy this and don't laugh it's only because you are tiny, and angry, and tiresome, and have not laughed, really...ever. At anything.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: This book rules!!! The person who wrote the review below simply didn't get it. Biting, scathing, witty, intelligent humor. Not for the weak-hearted!

Summary: Buy This Book!!!
Review: This could be the funniest book I ever read. In fact, it is the funniest book I've ever read! And I've read it over and over again and I laugh each time. Sarah Montague is a witty, clever, and brilliant writer...from A to Z.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get ready to laugh
Review: This one is a must-buy...Montague really breaks some fresh new comedic ground with her latest, and you're missing out if you don't grab a copy of this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ilustrations as funny as text, a "must see."
Review: This very funny little book is delightful not only because the author so succinctly sums up her subjects (really nails them!), but that the illustrations, with just one little dot, line or elementary shape dramatically define the essence of each character. The spare stick-figures are amazingly sophisticated summations of the written descriptions. Among my favorites are Quentin the Drag Queen, with ever-so-subtle suggestions of chest and leg hair, Owen's pony tail and facial hair, and Rita's exposed midriff, all accomplishing the effect with a bare minimum of swift, deft strokes. With her drawings Montague not only is able to capture the essence of each character with precision, but by knowing where to stop (to draw the line, so to speak), she allows you to recognize the unique quality of each individual and, better yet, to recognize actual acquaintances--the neighbors, classmates, co-workers you love to hate.
This tiny tome is good for many a giggle, and I laugh out loud with every re-reading

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Splendid and sarcastic
Review: What a wonderful book to give to any over-educated, cynical realist! The observations and descriptions are brilliantly written and the drawings add a definite charm to the book.
