One Joke Repeated Endlessly
Written by Anonymous on November 3rd, 2008
- Book Rating: 1/5
I've long been a fan of the droll (and sometimes not so droll) wit of The Onion. But like a lot of humor, a little goes a long way. In the case of this book, it begins funny. And then, it repeats the same joke(s). Again and again and again. After awhile, I started skipping around. Then, I gave up. A good 15 minutes. Not a good four hours...
This really is our world

This is PURE, well written comedy all the way. The format reminds me of being in Social Studies class and the teacher made us listen to something she found in some PBS archive, EXCEPT, this is 100% more entertaining! *** Note on the chapter about Nicaragua: If you have never played a role playing video game, this chapter will not make any sense to you. If you HAVE played shoot-em-up RPGs, the Nicaragua chapter will cause your health points to max out due to laughter being the best medicine.
