Book Overview
In the future, only one rule will matter: Don't. Ever. Peek. Seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander just broke that rule and saw the last person she expected hovering above her bed - arrogant Jackson Locke, the most popular boy in her school. She expects instant execution or some kind of freak alien punishment, but instead, Jackson issues a challenge: help him, or everyone on Earth will die. Ari knows she should report him, but everything about Jackson makes her question what she's been taught about his kind. And against her instincts, she's falling for him. But Ari isn't just any girl, and Jackson wants more than her attention. She's a military legacy who's been trained by her father and exposed to war strategies and societal information no one can know - especially an alien spy, like Jackson. Giving Jackson the information he needs will betray her father and her country, but keeping silent will start a war.

For anyone who likes to laugh!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Humorist Rich Tosches explodes on the literary scene with a book that is simultaneously funny and touching and introspective and funny and did I mention funny?To enjoy this book, you don't need to be someone who enjoys flyfishing -- just someone who likes to laugh. Tosches gives you plenty of opportunity with a variety of clever observations of people and life to laugh-out-loud humor.After finishing Zipping My Fly, my only question is: when is Rich going to write another book? I can't wait.
great fly-fishing humor

Everyone should go read Rich Tosches' book, "Zipping My Fly." From beginning to end, I was doubled over with laughter. Being an avid fly-fisher myself, the stories (i.e. Tosches hooking himself and friends with flys throughout the book) hit some of the tourments of fishing right on the nose. He also writes hilarious stories of fishing with his family that will make anyone want to go pick up this hobby. This book is great for all the fishers on your holiday shopping lists...and all the non-fishers as well.

Funny. Really funny. If you don't laugh at "Zipping My Fly" count yourself among the seriously humor-challenged.
Spit milk out of your nose funny

If you didn't laugh at Rich Tosches' book, you are among the humor-challenged. His stories aren't only for fisherman, either. I don't stop laughing until I reached the last page, and then I opened to page one and read it all over!

This book made me laugh out loud. I thought you would need to know a lot about fly fishing to enjoy this book, but that is not the case. In fact, my wife, who knows nothing about fly fishing, heard me laugh when I read this book and decided to read it. Now she is the one laughing out loud while she reads it. Tosches has the unique ability to look at any situation and find some subtle humor. This is an enjoyable read, and I would highly recommend it. I can't wait for his next book.
