Funny but not entirely accurate
This funny but not-entirely-accurate book was written by a bunch of self-proclaimed "carrot tops", which makes it a good gift to give from one redhead to another (sort of an us-versus-them mentality). It includes some funny lists - one of old proverbs from different cultures re: redheads, one of lines to avoid when trying to pick up redheads - example: we used to have an irish setter just your color, one with bad (i.e. lifeguard) and good (i.e. prime minister of england) career choices, etc. Also has a bunch of funny anecdotes, including a redhead's trip to Taiwan and a sections about redhead dating.

Where this book goes awry is with its heavy use of examples of redheads that are not. Are we really to believe that Barbara Streisand, Ted Koppel and Woody Allen have red hair? Please. Maybe with Photoshop.

Overall, a funny read but not really as good as I expected. Then again, as a redhead, I expected a lot.
