1.0 out of 5 stars This Book is a waste of time. Juvenile., March 29, 1999

By A Customer

This book was entirely a waste of time. Sanello's account of Murphy was shallow to uninteresting. Sanello even mis-quoted jokes at times. The book was empty, and barely had enough fresh information on Murphy to fill a magazine article.

The author also failed to effectively use metephores to illustrate his point. Rather, his analogies were clumsy and unremarkable.

Save yourself some time and rent Murphy's movie Boomerang instead.
