• 
  Thank YOU for making A Walk In The Snark a #1 Bestseller on multiple
  charts including Motherhood, Parenting & Family, Family
  Relationships, Advice/How-To, Women's Studies and more! AND a Top 100 Overall Paid bestseller!
• Be forewarned -- the material in this collection has been called controversial in nature. It is a relationship book based on the author's popular blog. There are recurrent themes regarding men and women, love and loss, romance and parenting. This is intentional. 
• It's not ALL humor, but it IS all honest. Can you handle the snark? 

Sometimes I think I'm too jaded. Then I think no, it's just the lighting.

Praise for A Walk In The Snark -- now a #1 Bestseller!

5 of 5 stars!

--The commonalities we all share is what makes this book spark to life.

Tony Eldridge, Author, The Samson Effect

--Thank you for making the lives of women and men more intelligible, Rachel, and for making us laugh at ourselves! 

Berit Ellingsen, Author, The Empty City

• Rachel believes "Men are from Seinfeld, Women are from Friends,"
  and so do her legions of fans. She dares to ask "Why do men want to
  change the world, but can't change a roll of toilet paper?" 
• Are you offended easily? Take satire literally? Don't buy this book. 

See why everyone is buying this book! Mancode, Chickspeak, and much, much more! 

See why critics love it! 

More praise: 

5/5 Stars: 

Crisp, cutting, and caffeinated. A gem of a read.

~Rebecca Tsaros Dickson, Author, I Could Tell You Stories; Editor-In-Chief, Indie Ink

The
author's wicked sense of humor sprinkles every day stories of
relationship angst with spicy hot pepper with keeping it real adventure.

~Bonnie Jean Adams, Chicago Culture And Events Examiner

  Parenting & Families, and Women's Studies and...) and is still a
  mainstay months and months later?

5.0 out of 5 stars The Author Has Pegged It Right On! March 13, 2011

By Tony

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I downloaded a trial of "A Walk In The Snark" and within 10 minutes, I just had to purchase the rest. I was laughing and rolling my eyes at the same time, while a nagging thought kept asking, "How does this author know me and my wife so well?" I took comfort that there are indeed more men like me and more women like my wife who put up with us. Even the most mundane tasks, like shopping with a list that our wife gave us, seems to be taken right out of my life.

Many authors try to capture the humor in our relationships in a way that is endearing as well. Rachel has done that marvelously. I can only imagine how much women enjoy this book, but to the men out there... trust me, you'll love this book, you'll laugh with it and you'll even try to convince yourself that it isn't really you in there. But the commonalities we all share is what makes this book spark to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Walk in the Snark January 26, 2011

I've been reading "Rachelintheoc" since I discovered her blog. She looks at life with a different view and turns little annoyances into funny, heart-warmning, and yes, sarcastic commentary. Her essays bring truth to life, and can be downright laughable, or tear-jerkers, or just head nodding (with thoughts of why didn't I think of it that way.) I thoroughly recommend this book to all men and women who like to look at life from a different viewpoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Talented New Voice February 23, 2011

By L.M. Stull

Format:Kindle Edition

I met Rachel through her blog and the IBC. Oh lord, is this lady funny! And talented!

A Walk in the Snark is a fine collection of snarky posts about relationships, about men, about woman, about how they interact. It also has some truly heartfelt passages in it about loss, about love and how the two go hand-in-hand.

This is a book worth picking up and reading. It is a refreshing, daring, frank discussion about all things man and woman.

Bravo to Rachel on her debut! I most certainly cannot wait to read more from this very talented writer.
