5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and hip view of life after college, March 27, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Entry-Level Life: A Complete Guide to Masquerading as a Member of the Real World (Paperback)
I feel the need to come clean and admit that I'm a friend of the writer, but, in a way, it makes my review more honest. When Dan told me he was writing the book, I thought it was kind of a lame idea. Life after college: so what? And I was terrified that it wouldn't be funny and I would be forced to lie to him.

To my great relief and delight, the book is incredibly hilarious. From the roommates-from-hell section to the instructions on how to write a resume, to life in an office cubicle, this book is a mirror held up to the lives of anyone who ever graduated from college with absolutely no idea of what to do next, but with a his or her sense of humor intact.

A GREAT graduation gift!

4.0 out of 5 stars Tongue in cheek and on the mark, August 29, 2001
This review is from: Entry-Level Life: A Complete Guide to Masquerading as a Member of the Real World (Paperback)
This was given to me a few years after graduating from college and I have to admit that it is so true! My goodness...this man must have been following me around documenting my life (yes, I had the troll doll in my cube). From how to pick a roommate to the style of roommate and what to expect from a little old lady landlord (who I happen to have, and she talks to shrubbery, but doesn't charge me the $19.99 for rent as advertised in your book). It's the perfect book to give someone who is graduating college -- or even before!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!!, September 13, 2011
This review is from: Entry-Level Life: A Complete Guide to Masquerading as a Member of the Real World (Paperback)
Glad to see this book is still around. Bought it a few years after graduating college (over a decade ago!) and it left me breathless from laughter. Guess that's what happens when you can relate to the comedy.....

In fact, when we entered the bookstore, my sister and I heard a couple of other people laughing in one aisle- turns out they were reading it!
