Uncles: A Tribute to the Coolest Guys in the World

Rating:
Summary: Enormously Entertaining
Review: Given to me as a gift by my niece, this book gave me many good laughs. The writer is one heck of a funny guy. He seems to know his stuff, too, about, as he says, "uncling." I particularly enjoyed the low-down on uncles of pop culture. I'll be purchasing a copy for one of my uncles shortly.

Summary: Way cool
Review: It's about time us uncles got some attention. This is a really fun book that my girlfriend gave me. I just became an uncle seven months ago and love my little nephew. And now I have a few more ideas on what to do with him as he gets older and becomes an individual. What a fun book. Russ Wild should be proud.

Rating:
Summary: all research, no charm
Review: The book was written by cruising the web for anything and everything related to uncles. And that's it, just a list of trivial factoids about uncles. There is almost no original content here. I was hoping for an essay, or at least some good exerpts from literature, but instead I got synopses of TV characters. Some research-only books like Cod, are good. This one is pretty lame, definitely not worth it.

Summary: A neat little book
Review: What better gift for a favorite uncle? The book is filled with funny stories, fascinating trivia, and warm tales of unclehood. I especially liked the author's interviews with children.
