I was looking forward to read this. Cover was very promising. I heard about the book in a FB group in Finland. But to my suprise the general tone in the book was negativ. Not fun. It could have been written in a way making people laugh. I read and have read a lot in my life. But this promised more than it gave.
This book arrived quickly and is in great shape. I've read parts of it and find it quite funny. Got it thinking it would make a good Christmas gift but I don't know if I want to give it up now.
You eavesdrop sometimes. You know you do. So do I. Whether we ought to or not, we all have a subtle hankering to know what's behind the proverbial curtain-- to see people with their facade taken down-- just for a moment. To see that they're just like us.
That's exactly what this book is all about. You'll be cracking up at the bizarre things on these lists, but don;t tell me by the end of it you haven't seen a few of them in here that you could have written yourself.
The quips and one-liners that accompany each list are priceless, too.
It's thick enough to keep you busy-- and laughing-- for a long long time. I bought three to give away after we couldn't stop fighting over it during an ocean trip!
Charming book. More a coffee table book than a story book, but I find that any time I pick it up I spend at least a half of an hour with it and that it is nostalgic and funny and reminiscent. Half the pages. In there could be mine or yours.
