Reviews

[Primadonna]

Cynical and sometimes sadistic, yet I had many good chuckles reading this one.

[Natasha]

The original is something of a classic. I didn't care much for the added bit and so I didn't make it through. But then it's more of a reference/coffee table book, so it's not a thing I'd read straight through anyway? I had this idea it'd be fun to do a take on this (too) but make it only positive definitions. It would probably come off as sarcastic though.

Man, I'm glad no one really reads these things.

[Davidlandes]

scathing, trenchant, devastating

[Thomas]

These are painfully truthful tests of your sense of humor and vocabulary. They are not easy to read but they are worth the time.

[J W]

Excellent and funny. A must for the cynic (see "realist")

[Bryan]

For when you have to keep things real.
