Amazon.com Review

A unique, hilarious take on the modern world

Jessica Hagy is a different kind of thinker. She has an astonishing talent for visualizing relationships, capturing in pictures what is difficult for most of us to express in words.

At indexed.blogspot.com, she posts charts, graphs, and Venn diagrams drawn on index cards that reveal in a simple and intuitive way the large and small truths of modern life.

Praised throughout the blogosphere as "brilliant," "incredibly creative," and "comic genius," Jessica turns her incisive, deadpan sense of humor on everything from office politics to relationships to religion.

With new material along with some of Jessica's greatest hits, this utterly unique book will thrill readers who demand humor that makes them both laugh and think.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great little idea -- key word little. It does not stretch to fill a whole book. Moderately entertaining, a few thought-provoking ideas. In my opinion, not worth this many pages.

3.0 out of 5 stars Unique, Interesting...but Light on Content October 10, 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Jessica Hagy's book, "Indexed," offers some unique, interesting...and often entertaining...insights into the world at large through the mediums of simple charts. The relationships Hagy points out in this book are insightful and often surprising.

While this book provides interesting and thought-provoking reading, it is light on content. The pages are not numbered and it took me approximately ten minutes to read the entire book.

Despite the book's brevity, it is worth a read. The question that potential purchasers should ask..and answer...is if the book is worth the price. The author offers content through a website (http://indexed.blogspot.com/), but I am not sure of the overlap of the web site's content and the content of the book.

In the final analysis, Hagy offers interesting perspectives on many facets of life through a basic medium...her content is worth consuming. This book may not be the best (or most economical) way to peruse her content, though.

Jessica has certainly tapped into something unique here - her insights are smart, thought-provoking, and most importantly: really funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Funny
Thought-provoking and entertaining; definitely fun to re-read. Most jokes I got right away, some took some puzzling over. This was definitely worth the sale price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and insightful
No, this little book doesn't have the answers to life questions. But it is funny, insightful, and I might even say thought-provoking. Would make a great little gift.

1.0 out of 5 stars The same joke, over and over
Read the cover and you have a preview of the monotonous anti-clever book. The same silly gag, over and over. I was hoping for something a bit more serious, or useful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Amusing
Ideal for those who tie their organizational sense to index cards, and/or who have a cynical appreciation for how to lie with statistics, and/or who do a lot of charting, graphing... Read more
