The authors do a masterful job of exposing the humorless self-importance of the subjects of their correspondence. The discerning reader will detect a strain of melancholy and futility running throughout the mirthless, dehumanized responses to the authors' inquiries. Bravo, Brothers Wade!

For those with a good sense of humor ... this is a must read !! I knew the book just a little before Mr. James Wade came to my school. Then he was my professor in a great management course. You can't imagine how fun and professional this great person is. The book gives perfectly the image of how "Woody" is creative ! Do not miss this hilarious peace of work !!

Does Mickey Mouse fly and carry a Batman-like utility belt? Why doesn't McDonald's offer jelly with their cheesburgers? And why can't you get bubble bath soap wet? If these are the questions keeping you awake at night, then this book will definately provide some much-needed insight into the workings of corporate America. One of the few books that actually made me laugh out loud, this is a book that everyone with a sense of humor will love

This is easily in the top three funniest books I've ever read(and I've read alot.) The imagination behind the Wade brother'sletters themselves is incredible. And clearly their targets just don't get it. Please, Wade brothers, do this again!

A very good follow up to MY BUSH PIG'S NAME IS BORIS, Humorist James "Woody" Wade is joined by his brother, Stu "Pointster" Wade in this effort. It's great to see that the business world can poke fun at itself by doing nothing more than business as usual. Can be easily read in one sitting if you don't mind cleaning up after yourself from time to time

I got this book a couple years ago and love it. It's great to take to places where you'll have to wait a while because you don't need to read it from beginning to end- you can open it to anyplace and flip around. I loved how the Wade brothers assumed the identies of all sorts of people, from mental patients to animal jewelry designers. It just shows how versatile they are. Their letters are always formal, though hilarious (such as asking Listerine for recipies and trying to find a house shaped like a W that can withstand atomic bombs). An excellent book for long- or short-term reading.
