Revenge of the Latchkey Kids: An Illustrated Guide to Surviving the '90s and Beyond

Summary: A strange pile of bile
Review: This is, I think, the only book I've seen by a living author where the introduction is less than flattering. Jules Feiffer points out that Ted Rall seems to've never gotten over his father's leaving the family, and he hasn't. Good god, no. No publisher in their right mind should have accepted 216 pages of something Ted Rall should've...accepted for himself at some point in early adolescence.

I have all his other books, and enjoy them no end. Don't buy this; you will only end up with a nagging distrust of Rall that you didn't have before. A caring friend should ensure that his doctor reads the thing, but that's about it. The few laughs in the book aren't worth the bitterness, and his few points are so laboured that...oh, forget it -- I am sounding about as bitter as him!
