Reviewed by Roy T. James for Readers' Favorite
The Commode Companion by Rolf C. Margenau is a collection of photographs termed by the author as an excellent bathroom companion. I felt bad, thinking he was belittling his work, then I read that his decision was in line with the scientific finding; laughter cures constipation. Now I agree with the author for this book is hilarious. It opens with the picture of a somber pup followed by that of a pensive cat. From lion to rat, snakes to weasel, or from monkey to a turkey, almost every animal manages to find a place in these frames. The imaginative captions of each photograph take the image and the reactions to an altogether new plane.
The Commode Companion by Rolf C. Margenau is like a breath of fresh air. It gave me no time to look elsewhere till I finished reading the last page. Each of the photographs depicts an animal in a pose worthy of response. Not only words fail me in expressing my emotions, but also emotions fail me in showing how I feel while savoring this book. The meaningful, insightful captions make this tasteful collection more enjoyable. I enjoyed each and every page of this book, all the photographs and captions, but failed miserably in finding a better caption, though Rolf invites us to find better ones. This is an excellent companion, whether in the bathroom or outside, and can hold one's interest for a long time, since the pictures tell stories and the short captions speak volumes.

I could use a little help.
I am about to release another novel. It is being promoted by amazon.com with a view toward publishing it. To encourage its publication, readers need to preview the book. They also get a chance for a free book.
The campaign begins tomorrow and is seen here https://kindlescout.amazon.com/p/LUUV.... You can see my other stuff at www.frogworks.com
National Parks is a satirical examination of what happens, in the near future, when our Congress, through inaction and gridlock, brings our nation to the brink of bankruptcy. Their solution is to raise money by selling the national parks to the highest bidders. Hilarity ensues as three heroines battle this nutty notion. The book is funny, not smutty.
Amazon’s program involves readers voting on the first few chapters of the book. Obviously, the more votes it receives, the better for me and the book. I hope my friends will visit the book’s site and encourage their friends to do so too. I think you’ll enjoy the opening chapters.
Prizewinning author David Aretha says: “Margenau’s sardonic wit is a big step above Saturday Night Live’s and on par with Stephen Colbert and John Oliver, both of whom would benefit by having this octogenarian on staff. I can envision each of those comics pounding the table in laughter, like I did, while reading National Parks.”
I’d be grateful if you would pass this on.
