I love just about everything David Cross has ever done, but this book seems directionless and unfinished, as if Cross turned in a first draft. He revisits too many subjects (Catholic priests, morning zoo crew disc jockeys, Larry the Cable Guy, homeschoolers, President Bush) that he discussed at length on his stand-up albums, and several of his 'essays' are more accurately described as rebuttals to people who have criticized him in various ways over the past few years. Most importantly, his book is just not very funny. Michael Ian Black (whose humor I do not usually enjoy as much as Cross') recently wrote a much, much better book, My Custom Van. For fans of alternative comedy who need something to read on the subway and/or the toilet, Black's book is far superior. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73691264 to: The Catcher in the Rye (Paperback) by J.D.
