Most Inspirational Book Ever,
By Average Guy "average_guy" (Downingtown, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Penguin Readers Level 3: the Book of Heroic Failures Pb (Paperback)
This is the most inspirational book I've ever read. Let's face it, when you read about really fantastic people doing really fantastic things, you feel small and useless. But reading this book, you quickly begin to understand that you've never done anything nearly as bad as these people have done. If you failed your driver's test, don't feel bad - someone has failed it 46 times in a row. Basically, if you haven't burned down a neighbor's barn trying to test the gases coming out of the back end of a cow, or produced a safety film that actually causes injuries, you're doing pretty good.

A friend gave me this book to cheers me up after I had just broken up with my first serious girlfriend.
I thought given the title she was being ironic but after reading it I couldn't stop laughing. Lent it to a friend, neved got it back!

The things people do!,
By sageb0w@ihug.co.nz (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book of Heroic Failures (Mass Market Paperback)
Next to David Niven's 'The Moon's a Balloon' this is the funniest book I have ever read. Bought it years ago and lent it to a friend. Never seen since but hope to get another copy. An absolute must for the bookshelves of those with a good sense of humour.
