    <body><![CDATA[This could have been a fun book to read, but the writer seems to suffer from both personal insecurities and an inflated ego.  He keeps reassuring readers, throughout the book, that he's such a funny guy.  And blasted all over the cover of the book are quips that this author is the funniest Canadian ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48409338">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm really horrible at non-fiction, even when it comes to humorous non-fiction like &quot;Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw.&quot;  In my defense this time though, the book just wasn't as funny as I hoped it would be.  Sure, there were some funny parts, but they were surrounded by a lot more wistful memoir...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9098730">more...</a>]]></body>

Ferguson explores some of the country's most eccentric spots, sprinkling his journeys with just the right amount of historical information and personal narrative.
