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

Rating:
Summary: Silly, self-indulgent, contradictory visual and verbal pap
Review: Ted Rall has certainly made a name for himself. Like Tom Tomorrow, he offers his readers a steady stream of poorly-reasoned, didactic quasi-liberal back-slapping and whining with no real effort to be either impartially insightful or genuinely humorous. This book is the cream of the Rall crap-crop, offering a collection of essays that far too often devolve into ramblings on Rall's personal vendettas coupled with occasional unfunny, half-related cartoons. I give it two rather than one stars because from time to time, Rall can be funny despite himself. It's just not often enough to justify spending a dime on him.

Summary: A wise man shares his wisdom
Review: Ted Rall is a great guy who just happens to be a little angry. Fortunately he's learned to funnel this into a fantastic book which I highly recommend. If you've ever in any way found yourself disgruntled with a terrible workplace or happen to be a latch key kid yourself, this book will speak a lot of truth to you. It's clever and funny and I can't wait for Ted Rall's next tome.

Summary: Must-read for the new millenium
Review: Ted Rall succeeds where Scott Adams fails. These cartoons are the biting real-life social commentary that Dilbert likes to think it is. Burn those Dilbert books and buy more Ted Rall.
