Apt Advice for Armageddon
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang...but a howl of laughter! Who knew that the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse is a brilliant satirist by the name of Rob Kutner? With a gift of prophecy that Cassandra would envy and the swiftness of a Sidewinder missile, Kutner has beaten the likes of those esteemed self-help gurus Heloise, Bob Vila, Dr. Phil, Martha Stewart, Dear Abby, et al. in fulfilling an unrecognized need: an ironic handbook for coping with nearly all aspects of the Last Days. "Apocalypse How" is highly entertaining and may even be useful. I liked it so much I bought copies for my family and closest friends.
The end comes too soon.

You'll regret the coming of the end of "Apocalypse How" almost as much as you'll regret the coming of the end of the actual world (next week). Fortunately, the book is packed with so much verbal and visual humor, you'll need to read it at least twice to wring all the laughs from it... much as you'll want to wring all the potable, nutritious juices from whatever minimally-irradiated flora, fauna, and Frankenfoods you can find when the end-times arrive. You'll want to read the acknowledgments three times.
Laughter for the Left Behind!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Even more so than the average election year, 2008 feels like the end of the world. For those who don't miraculously ascend to a better place--and let's face it, that's a lot of you--this book might just keep you alive (or at least, keep your hideous demise from being needlessly depressing). With the ability to get a laugh even from a blank page, Rob Kutner is truly humanity's best hope for survival.
GREAT BOOK

This book was really hilarious! Takes the doom out of doomsday. Buy it to read or makes a great gift, it was so funny I forgot to be scared.
Like "America: the Book," but with more zombies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a funny, funny book. Very much in the spirit of "I Am America, and So Can You," or "America: The Book." Which isn't surprising, since the author is one of Jon Stewart's writers on "The Daily Show" (as well as a co-author of "America"). It's pretty rare that a book can make you laugh out loud, yet this one seems to do it at least once every page. If you're a discerning fan of intelligent, sophisticated comedic prose, or if you simply like jokes about giant robotic ant-monsters, I highly recommend this book.
