A Brilliant, Truly Funny Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
It is disappointing, but not surprising, to see that there are a number of readers who give this book only a star or two. Of course, some people think Charles Dickens is "dull", while others don't "get" James Thurber. Fortunately, many more do, and Frazier is definitely in a league with Thurber and other great humorists. He is simply one of the best writers alive, and easily the funniest. If you appreciate true wit and absurd, hilarious writing at all you should buy this book. Those you who don't like it probably have a sense of humor that reaches the level of most TV commercials, if that. One can only feel sorry for you - you're missing a great writer!
Dangerously funny

Mr. Frazier may be hearing from my attorneys soon, as I may have ruptured something laughing at the title story. That alone would be worth the price of the book, but the rest of it, while not always gut-wrenchingly hilarious, should not be read in a hospital corridor.
