highly entertaining... I loved O'Rourke's dry wit and his analogies are hysterical...

Keep in mind this is not politically correct, nor seeks to say things to make people happy and you'll enjoy this off the wall writer.

This is a very funny book by a very funny man. He takes a rather acid approach to the problems that plague us, or seem to plague us. Easy read, light and funny. Keep your sense of humor intact however, if conservative types annoy you.
