This review is from: Dred (Paperback)
Don't be fooled by the cover. This book is funny. It is insightful while extending a true message a the same time. The message is remember parables, stories heard from your youth. Upon gaining adulthood, you usually understood what your elders were saying. It is hard to explain without giving away the details of the book. This book reminds us of the familar and funny parables heard when growing up as children. Great message from a funny author. I am sending copies to all my friends.One love!!
