This book really made me laugh and I think people who do not get the joke i.e. those that equate the author with the people from Enron really need to get a grip. This book was obviously put out as entertainment and the losers that don't get it are very very sad.

I ordered this book as a fun joke-like book for my college aged niece. However, in flipping through it before I gave it to her, I read some very morally corupt and even illegal ideas on how to get free food. The author advocates stealing food from the grocery store by eating donuts from the donut case while you walk around the store shopping! This attitude, even in a joking manner, I believe erodes the morals of our society and ultimately creates the ethical issues we are facing today, sich as Enron.

Do not support the author by buying this book. There are so many good, funny, smart, entertaining books in the world to choose from intead.

what a fantastic read, i believe some kind of recognition is in order for Ben-Mier. I'm not too sure that a Pulitzer Prize is that far of a stretch for this piece.
there is not a better book out there for the would be college student, or for the would be toilet sitter.

The ideas are superb and written in the most fluid of prose, no hoity toity shakespearesque language. Buy this book, your life depends on it...

I saw this book and it brought me back to my college days, so I had to get it for a few nephews in college, I couldnt stop laughing!
