Superior Wit & Intelect, Unmatched by Anyone., September 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Jewish-Japanese Sex & Cook Book and How to Raise Wolves (Hardcover)
This is the first book I ever read by Mr. Douglas. It was given to me by a good friend. I read it in one sitting after work one night, when I was still young, and single and living at home. I was reading in my room, and I was laughing so hard my dad had to come in every few minutes to see what was the matter. This was only after the first paragraph. Needless to say, it has been, to date, my most favorite book ever! I made the mistake of lending it out to someone at work, and I never got it back. Understandable. When I tried to find another copy a few years later, I found out that it was out of print. When I inquired about some of his other titles; "My brother Was An Only Child", "Honeymoon Mountain Inn", I found out that they were also out of print. Through further investigation I found out that he had died and that's why his titles were out of print. If you ever get a chance to read one of his books, please do so, you will never regret it. His wit, and wisdom will keep you smiling for many years. Whenever you see something familiar to his writings you will find yourself laughing out loud. If laughter is the key to better health, after reading just this book, you will never die.

The world needs more like Jack Douglas, November 9, 1998
This review is from: The Jewish-Japanese Sex & Cook Book and How to Raise Wolves (Hardcover)
I read Jack Douglas at a very young age--found it in my mother's book collection. His humor, his work in general, has long been the inspiration for my own writing. I'm not sure what happened to Mr. Douglas, or what the last book he wrote might be, but I miss his biting, morbid satire. His books can be found in the used bookstores all over Connecticut, in case anyone is looking.

Mixed bag, February 1, 2007
This review is from: The Jewish-Japanese Sex & Cook Book and How to Raise Wolves (Hardcover)
Though Douglas is extremely funny, a lot of the humor in this book is a little too campy. There are also quite a few interjection of upsetting things about his wolf raising and wolf facts. I found the mix of this and his humor made a hard read for me. I will definely read his other books.
