Fuck, Yes!: A Guide to the Happy Acceptance of Everything

Rating:
Summary: Promising, but ultimately silly
Review: This book seemed to hold much promise when I first picked it up. The title, the mystery of the real author, and the premise... Ah, yes...the premise, that one can just let go of everything and just say yes to whatever drifts through the transom...but the main character largely doesn't do that throughout the book. He resists some of the things that are happening. It would have been much more interesting if he had said yes to everything, and what that would lead to. Ultimately, a silly book and an entertaining read, but it missed the chance for true cult-like status.

Summary: A lot of fun about nothing
Review: This book should be enjoyed for what it is; the secret of life. Now that I have let the cat out of the bag everyone will be rushing to buy this out-of-print gem. But, no need to worry, it can be found in many fine used bookstores. It is a fun read, along with some profound insights hidden amonst the clarinet playing. And yes, YES works.

Rating:
Summary: Hysterical and fun.
Review: This is one fun read. An entire work that is complete fiction: from the editor's note to the book order form. I appreciated the unrelenting jabs at so-called self-help books. The characters are hysterical and the perspective they provide on the life of their leader, Master Wing, contrasted with Wing's perspective of them set the tone for an engaging and uproarious tale. Is there anything to learn from this book? Yeah, sheep can make great friends.

Rating:
Summary: A mean spirited book that is only occasionally funny.
Review: This novel is not, as rumored, by Tom Robbins. The style isn't fit to carry Tom Robbins' jockstrap. The subject matter is a little bit similar to Robbins' but the way the "hero" uses people is definitely antithetical to Robbins' worldview. It has a few laughs but leaves a bitter taste in your mind.
