Summary: Very funny book
Review: This got me going. I don't know what Dikkers set out to do with this book. It goes beyond just being funny. He accomplishes what the books he's parodying try to. After I finished it in one sitting, stopped laughing, caught my breath, I stood up and was like, "Damn that was refrehing." I lent it to my fellow worthless brother but I don't think he's read it yet.

Summary: Very funny book
Review: This kind of humor isn't for everyone, but I do recommend this book for anyone with a sense of humor that's a little off-center. My 15-year-old son and I both laughed ourselves silly at various parts of the book.

Summary: Ooooh, Biting Witty Cleverness! Wowee. (Yawn...)
Review: Well, well, well. The perfect book for cynics like me. Not because it's a great book (it's not), but because it gives us the opportunity to chuckle at these little turds of faux wisdom that describe so many people less perfect than the corporate "us". Consider any of the attempts at creating sack-smackingly hilarious nuggets - and there are literally hundreds of them that will make you laugh out loud - and compare them to the fillers that do nothing more than promote ugly thoughts and hateful self-loathing in even the most self-confident: "You will spend the rest of your life alone," "You are a loser," and "People who have kids are idiots." Please, anyone, some thread to stitch my sides back up. The book is only so-so, if for no other reason than these hateful barbs are scattered haphazardly throughout. (Yeah, I know... I must not "get it," right?) What's next, guys? A book of funny names from the NYNEX phone book? Wacky amputee photos? Spare me.

Summary: Sardonicism at it's finest
Review: When out of sheer curiosity I picked this book up off of a friend's coffee table, I had no idea what lay ahead. 25 seconds later, I was in tears. For anybody who appreciates satire and cynical humor, this book is a must. I haven't laughed so hard at anything else in my life, besides perhaps a couple timeless articles from the infamous spoof newspaper, The Onion.

Summary: Lots of fun!
Review: While portions of You Are Worthless fall short, there is plenty of content that will provide for a good laugh. Make the purchase--if it doesn't do it for you, pass it on to someone or better yet, leave it in a common area at work. Watching someone else read it may prove as enjoyable as reading it yourself!

Summary: This book is worthless! Just kidding...
Review: Why would you buy a book that is supposed make you feel bad about yourself? Because it won't. I'm not sure why, but this book is brilliant. It will get you out of a depression... may be by putting you in another one, but it's worth it! Trust me on this.

Summary: A triumph against hypocrisy
Review: Wow! Another great book to add to my collection. I haven't felt this fulfilled since that last Dave Barry book. PS: Not for the timid or young children. Parents beware...

Summary: Fitting the garden hose to your car's exhaust could be tough
Review: YOU ARE WORTHLESS is one of those bathroom readers that one gives or receives as a gag gift. That's how I got my copy ... from an ex-boss. (Hmmm... at least I think it was a gag gift.) The book's hypothesis, made with one-liners and short observations, is that you and your life are essentially worthless and meaningless from the points of view of your friends, co-workers, boss, lovers, children, pets, and God. I guess one would have to be careful to whom to give this volume as a present. If the recipient was already suicidal, or maybe just enduring a 50th birthday, it might be enough to push him or her over the edge ... literally. Some of the passages are particularly warm and fuzzy: "Killing yourself would be a good idea. The only problem is that you don't have the guts" "The bus driver would just as soon slit your throat as give you a ride." "Next time you have sex, fixate on just how horribly unattractive your body is." "You hate your job. And it's safe to say that no one at your job is particularly fond of you either." "When you pray, no one is listening. Furthermore, you look ridiculous." And my personal favorite, because I have a pet cat, Trouble, that I regard as my good buddy: "That special bond you think you have with your pet is imaginary. As long as it has food and water, you could get hit by a train tomorrow, and your pet wouldn't think anything of it." I'm enormously lucky in that I have a healthy level of self-esteem. Otherwise, I think I might close this book and go looking for a garden hose to attach to my car's exhaust pipe.
