Funny and eye-opening,

This review is from: The Dog Dialed 911: A Book of Lists from The Smoking Gun (Paperback)
The lists provided in this book act as a testament to the idiocy of some people. Even those that hold top positions in our society did not get there based upon their intelligence.
Read this and enjoy. Readers will certainly find something that will educate, entertain, and with some luck, change their minds about those that are idolized. Have fun!

This review is from: The Dog Dialed 911: A Book of Lists from The Smoking Gun (Paperback)
I bought this book as a gift for X-mas, before wrapping it I read through it and i was amazed at how different it was from the description that I had heard. This book was not funny, there were a couple of pages that were semi funny but the entire book wasn't worth the $12 or so, and i feel bad about giving it as a gift.

An okay read,

This review is from: The Dog Dialed 911: A Book of Lists from The Smoking Gun (Paperback)
Generally this book is a compilation of the material found of the Smoking Gun Web Site.
Amusing stories make this a light read, not serious and obviously just complied to deliver lighthearted information
