Summary: HILARIOUS!!!
Review: This book was my first exposure to The Onion. I happened upon it on a trip and read it in one evening. I couldn't put it down, and nearly hurt myself laughing so hard. The satire is right on the money, although it may offend some people. (Doesn't good satire always do that?) But you must read this! Also, check out the website,... for more of this material. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Summary: This onion will leave you crying...from laughter!
Review: This is yet another great example of brilliant and witty writing on the part of the Onion's writers. From GM introducing "new, instant-win airbags" to Saddam Hussein stepping down because of a sex scandal and a local child destroying an ant colony, the writing is better than ever. The writers' ribald and vulgar sense of humor is sharper than ever, too, as Monica Lewinsky gets subpoenaed to "re-blow Clinton on Senate floor." It's tough to pick a favorite Onion book, but this one is right up there. Even the offensive ones are somehow funny. Get it, read it, and laugh again and again. Makes a great coffee table book.

Summary: Funny as a Midget! :)
Review: What can I say -- this books takes irony to a whole new level. I found the last Onion book (Our Dumb Century) to be one of the funniest things that I had ever read -- and this one blew it away! I read it cover to cover in one day, and yet again two days later. I couldn't help myself, I just had to read this book -- and share it with everyone that I know. Certainly makes you a very popular person during a boring part of the work/school day. I recommend this to anyone who can appreciate something for its humor, without getting offended by taking it literally. I found it hilarious, my classmates, my family, my coworkers, and even my AP English and Ap US History Teachers found it hilarious. You will too... Enjoy!

Summary: an excellent book for the coffee table
Review: Whee! Great fun! With gut busting stories like "Mr. T topity fool" and "Christopher Reeve placed atop Washington Monument" the writers of the Onion continue the fine tradition started with Our Dumb Century. I keep my copy of The Onion's Finest News Reporting in the john, where I can assure you that it stands the test of multiple reading. This is the funniest stuff in the world, period. The Onion is Coke and National Lampoon is RC cola. Great stuff! It's a pity it is entirely made up of stories that were previously published on the net, but what are you gonna do? I'm an American consumer, baby! I consume! Why on earth are you still reading this review, when you could be reading the glorious truths of The Onion's Finest News Reporting? Go, buy it now! I said go, you fool! END

Summary: Great for Onion veterans as well as newbies!
Review: _____ Sure the book contains a lot of the articles already online at the Onion archive, but what makes this book a must-have is the fact that it contains articles that have NOT been archived. Where else can you read them but in this book?! I flipped through the book when I got it and pointed out many of the articles as "have reads" but there were still a lot that were new to me. _____ And seriously, reading on paper beats the heck out of online reading anyday. With this I can read The Onion at the dinner table, on the couch, in bed, and . . . well use your imagination :-) If you like The Onion, you must get this book.
