The book is attractively put together but filled with the weakest and lamest come backs there are. It's as if a twelve year old put this together.
Here are some of the insults and comebacks they give you:
"You still think you can be anything you want -- and get paid for it."
"Are you still paying off your student loans to poseur school?"
"Don't bother me; I'm living happily ever after."
There is nothing in here you would use in regular conversation. Nothing to keep in your arsenal to bust out, spur of the moment.
The book is not funny at all, so it's not even enjoyable to just flip through. Thumbing through the thing you're struggling to find at least one that is humorous. They lack all originality. Majority of the things written in here I learned in the early '90s, in grade school. The other half are the type of slogans you'd see on a fat kids t-shirt, like "Did you take the short bus to school?"
There are tons of books on Amazon filled with wit and humour, but this ain't one. This book is a waste of time.

Sure, some of the one-liners are humorous, but not nearly so much as I had hoped. Still, the "Lines for All Occasions" series does make an interesting coffee table set. I've found that people are far more likely to pick one of these up and flip through it than they will other books.

The comebacks and insults in this book are truly lame. Most were old, bad lines. I was embarrassed just reading these let alone using them.

I bought this book as a cute little gag gift to go along with other things. It's the perfect book for that sort of thing. There are quite a few funny comebacks in it and quite a few that are not so funny but that's to be expected in a book like this. If you actually want to memorise insults to tell other people then perhaps this isn't your book. But if you want to give it to a friend as a joke then its great.

Love this little book. Great comebacks and sarcasm. This is wonderful for the person who wants to put a bit of humor in their conversations or speeches.

Bought for my son, who is a monumental smart a##, he loved it... I read some of it, and it has been probably the most read book in the house. Funny quips..

I find the book to be a great asset for everyday use. I find myself throwing out zingers without pause and yet, it's done with grace. If you've ever encountered a situatation where you did not have the right comeback for a given situation, this books for you.

If you're the person who never has a comeback for a pitiful "Yo mama" joke a friend told, then you need this. Read more
