GREAT BOOK!
This book is one of those books that only comes along once in a while. Why doesn't anyone write parodies any more? Who doesn't like a good parody? This book is great. Windows for dumbells, Having our lay, Mars and Venus in the bathroom... and all around the house, The farm, Iron Tom, Jurrasic Pork, "S" is for supercalifragilisticexpealodoious and The "you're Hot, baby" zone are just some of the gut busting parodies in this book. and who can forget the parody that is the title of the book: 7 habits of highly defective people, which is the 18 page classic right in the middle of the book. I recommend this book to everyone. I bought it for 7 bucks when it came out. Buy it for one dollar now. What's a buck to you? 117 pages of pure parody, what more could you ask for?

I Couln't Stop Laughing!
This is simply a hilarious audio casette. You will laugh so loud that you will disturb the neighbors. I have listened to it five times. And each time, it becomes funnier and funnier. If you are hypersensitive, I wouldn't buy this cassette. The authors really lampoon so many of our favorite icons. Order this audio casette and have the time of your life!

Great Parody! Also, a surprisingly good novel.
When I bought this book I was expecting nothing more (or less) then a good, fun, comic romp. I got that but more as well. This a very well written satirical novel that has great characters. Don't worry, you'll laugh, but the book is deeper than you'd expect.

Review of Tamagotchi Egg : Useless Advice for the Shell
This book lives up to its' title in full. There is nothing in this book that could be useful. It does have a Tamagotchi name section, but they are all spelled wrong. It is a waste of a reader's time. I would not recommend it to any one.

Very Good!
Tamagotchis are cool, and it is too bad that there are no more. Great Book!

tamagotchies rule

Irreverent, but fun
As the author of The Christmas Box, I found the parody irreverent at times but, on the whole, a lot of fun.


The Unspeakable Crimes of Dr. Petiot

Entertaining Historical Nonfiction
This is an entertaining and easy-to-read book on a fascinating case in Paris in 1944. Dr. Petiot, a former mayor and physician with almost Barnum & Bailey ringmaster overtones is put on trial for the murder of 27 people who were found, or should I say pieces of them were found, at one of his residences.

The book, based on fact, covers the events and trial. The book is just the right length, not overstuffed with tedium and not so short you feel cheated of a real story. It's well-written and precise and strangely compelling.

Was Dr. Petiot actually killing Nazis and french traitors as he claimed or was something else involved? It's a chilling episode within the context of one of the most important periods of our times.


The Private Diary of Scarlett O'Hara

This Is A Disgrace!
This is terrible that some modern-age author thought it funny to make fun of one of literatures greatest works. Its a disgrace to all new-day authors that one dosen't have enough imagination to come up with a story and plot of their own, but instead chooses to downgrade a beloved American classic.

DISGUSTING
What a disgrace to great American literature! This book shows how small-minded people have become.

The Southern Belle Primer Revisited
What a Hoot! I loved it! Now we know what was really in that pretty little head. I am a long time fan of GWTW (some 30 years worth)and a passionate historian of the antebellum South, but this is too neat a satire to pass up. (Far better than that wretched sequel to GWTW palmed off on us a few years ago!) Scarlett would have been in stitches - heck, she'd have been publishing her memoirs a long time ago! That lady did love the limelight.

If you take GWTW as serious history and don't want your feathers ruffled, no, don't listen to this book. But if you enjoy GWTW as the rousing Southern mythology and legacy it is, I think you will safely get a kick out of this. My only complaint was that the reader speaks so quickly at times that she is difficult to follow and thus doesn't come across as authentically Southern.
