5.0 out of 5 stars Wet my pants laughing!, November 9, 1999

This book is a parody of the now annoying Idiots/Dummies Guides to most everything in life. It's a funny, dead-on spoof of the genre that will have those around you asking "What are you laughing about?" It's also suprisingly literate. I bought 7 for Christmas gifts!

5.0 out of 5 stars I May Not Be a Smart Man, But I Know What Love Is, November 16, 1999

I read "The Complete Idoits Guide For Dumies," and like my mama said, some books are good and some are gooder. This one is just plain gooder. I loved it lots. I would recomend this book for anyone who needs a better way to understand what being mentally slow is. My mama said that dumies is as dumies does, and I think that lady got something there. Thank you, mama, and thank you United States of America.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the time period, some laughs although it's fairly dated now., August 24, 2005

If, in these post 9/11-Iraq War-Patriot Act days of ours you need a nostalgic throwback to when the Spice Girls and Survivor were the most disturbing things going on in American society, this book might do it for you. This book was written around the beginning of the period when our society truly started taking in REALLY dumb television and media and is incredible satire to that end. Of course, there are the requisite Clinton/Lewinsky jokes that were new then but beaten into the ground now. Not a bad read...I still open mine up every now and then.
