50 Great College Drinking Games

Rating:
Summary: A sure hit at any party!
Review: Don't you just hate it when you go to those parties where only about 6 people showed up and nothing is happening? Everybody is just standing around, drinking their Pabst Blue Ribbon, while a best of the 80's CD is blaring Tainted Love (for the seventh time in a row) in the background. You want to leave, but the host already saw you, so you're trapped. You realize you just wasted your entire Friday night. These parties don't have to be boring anymore thanks to '50 Great College Drinking Games' by Ross Bonander. Bonander has written the quintessential party book. 50 Great College Drinking Games is more than "educational", it's a humorous read. Not only did I discover new games, such as 'Suck the Sock', I also found myself laughing out loud time and time again thanks to Bonander's excellent use of pop culture references. This book encompasses all you need to know about drinking games. Take it along to any party and watch the fun ensue. It's a guaranteed hit.

Summary: Pop-culture, wit, sarcasm, Wittgenstein and drinking games?
Review: Hm. A drinking game book that begins with a quote from Wittgenstein and ends with a phantasmic photo invoking UCLA, rock n' roll, pro-hockey and possibly Mithraism - might this really be a philosophical treatsie on the essence of liquid competition, an existential jaunt down a road well travelled, a textual exorcism of collegiate transgressions in disguise? While perhaps only Ross could shed any penetrating light on these depthless questions, the fact that the book is authoritatively stamped "The Official Party Animal Manual" should give immediate pause to the "Three-Man, Thumper, Tupperware Two-Step" timid and the "Speed Quaters, Suck the Sock, Suck and Blow" shy. However, should the reader already be familiar with some drinking games, "50 Great College Drinking Games" is an essential companion to all social gatherings where "fun is in the air."

In addition to an attentive inventory of drinking games and their raucous rules, Ross provides the responsible imbiber with both colorful humor and searing sarcastic wit. And if this weren't enough, his prose is peppered throughout with evocative references to pop-culture. This isn't simply a book detailing the rules of drinking games regaling the reader with reveries of fraternity parties past, but instead is an ironic one that doesn't take itself seriously while at the same time never denying the reader's desire for the rules of the game. Clearly the funniest drinking game book around.

Summary: This book is worth reading, if only for the humor!!
Review: Ross Bonander is a GREAT author. I bought this book because I am a DJ on a cruise ship. I make friends with the passengers, and they want to have a good time. This will help me accomplish their desire to have fun. There are several GREAT ideas in this book. I read through it just for contents sake, but I laughed so much! ROSS BONANDER doesn't beat around the bush. He uses vulgar language, and his descriptions paint a vivid picture in your mind. He's very honest about potential to puke, mentions concern for safety several times, and tastefully recommends professional help for those drinkers who are "too good" at these games. A must for every fraternity, and cruise ship DJ!
