I suppose I had no idea what to expect when I picked up this book. (And perhaps diving into it blindly was my downfall?) But in any case, as I started reading, I became fascinated with the craft of this author. The whole idea of compiling 26 essays seemed brilliant. However, as I read on, I found myself skimming pages and hoping that each chapter would quickly end so I could get on with the book. Yes, the author's writing is witty, funny, and unique. I did laugh out loud on a few occasions. (Especially in the first chapter when the author recounts his experiences in speech-therapy.) But despite the four times I laughed, this book was not a worth-while read, and I would not recommend it to anybody. (And I do feel like that says something, because I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to light reads like this.) I'm also quite content that I did not actually purchase this book as I do not want it taking up precious space on my bookshelf. #Overdriveforthewin. I wanted to like this book... I really did. But all in all, I'm real happy it's over.
