Reviews

[Carmen Tudor]

Contains some real gems showcasing genuine wit, but also some antisemitic and racist crap that should've been flushed down the toilet rather than given an audience.

In my  mind, "hate mail" is by definition funny.  Well written and valid complaints aren't hate mail.  Hate mail should be watching someone throw a fit and barely be able to talk.  You know, spit, sputter and stutter.  I suppose that sounds mean but I can SO relate to being too upset to be articulate and just barely able to speak.  These seemed mostly just silly to me and not funny.  One star for the idea.

Funny hate letters, etc... reminds me of a book William F. Buckley recently published called Cancel Your Own Goddam Subscription: Notes and Asides from National Review.

This is a good book just to pick up randomly, flip to a page and read a couple letters or two for a good laugh. Love it.
