Rating: Summary: great coffee table book! Review: My best friend gave me this book as a present and i was happy to get this book:).if you have a shrewd sense of humor then this is for you.you can take this book literally and kudos to you but i think i'll stay within the norm and read it and laugh at what I could have done for that day.this book offer 365 things to do so if you don't like today's tasks you can always turn the next page.i keep this book out while i'm taking study breaks and read a few pages.
Rating: Summary: To Do or Not To Do? Review: On a purely comedic level, This Book Will Change Your Life does its job and does it well. In coffee table/bathroom book fashion, it is eye-catching, diverting, and easy to digest in small, random doses. Also, since all 365 entries have their own look and feel, it will appeal to a variety of humors and tastes.
Despite its obviously hokey premise, the book's aims are (for the most part) legitimate. At least, they take great pains for you to believe that they are. There are a few mostly impossible suggestions (very few people could manage, for instance, to spend an entire day underwater) which diminish any seriousness one might bring to the book's claims, but overall, I found myself wishing that I had both the time and the energy to put into motion the book's proposal of daily life changing.
Ironically, I think the book's best impact would be on people who do try to live out the ideas mentioned in the pages, if for no other reason than it would make the humor in those ideas more poignant and personal. Things like going one day without your sense of sight, or mailing your picture and $5 to a random address, or fasting for one day are funny to read about, but their practice, I imagine, would provide one's life with a definite, if not brief, edge. Perhaps your life as a whole won't change, but that day will certainly be very, very different.
Because the book's humor is so overt and, at the same time, subtle and invasive, it's a given that few people will try to put into practice the book's demands (even though mulitple entries promise fame "in the next book" for people who turn in their various results). This, I think, is a shame. Even if some of the book's suggestions are mundane (A "do it yourself" day suggests that you change a light bulb), unfeasible (again, all day underwater?), or a deliberate waste of space (I'm thinking of the gender specific entries, or the day that says, "ignore this entry" and has no suggestions), I would be pleased to see a world of Book Owners putting the ideas into practice. Not only would they get a kick out of it, but the rest of us might, too.
On the other hand, it is much safer to just read the thing.
Rating: Summary: Weird but humorous! Review: Some of the stuff is just gross. Yet again, this is not for kids! A grand majority is funny or amusing or even informative. A cool book to use as a guide for when you are feeling bored.
Rating: Summary: I didnt believe it, but this book WILL change your life!! Review: Talk about a conversation starter!! This book is a great way to gain knowledge, confidence, AND get others really interested in how you would have found such a strage book! A GREAT GIFT for those that just have EVERYTHING!
Rating: Summary: Ya Damn Right It Changed My Life Review: This book has the best page layout I've ever seen. Each page is uber-chic. Delightfully entertaining activities include: "Tax Freedom Day", an "Above the Law Pass", and "Choose your final meal on death row and make it." The only problem with the book is the last day. I don't know which sexual postion should I be in.
