As an English major in college, I was taught to loathe clichés, but this quick read re-introduced me into not only the humor, but also the truths to these well-known phrases. If you've got an hour to kill, it's worth the read. It also makes a great gift!

My brother gave me this for Christmas. I loved it! Expect me to spit platitudes at you.

[Nina · Rating 4 out of 5]

A brilliant book that fits right into your pocket or purse. It’s filled with clichés and Platitudes than you generally hear and the explanations or ideas behind them.
