This little book could -- and probably should -- have been so much more. But it's a handy bathroom read, or even a bedside read for those who fall asleep quickly. Not a "keeper" for my collection, but amusing enough for those not looking for LOLs.

Charles Osgood makes everything seem better and he does it again with this clever selection of letters and his own classic way of seeing them with dry wit and in forgiving human perspective makes this a small but delightful blessing for anybody's bookshelf - or gift list.

What a funny book! Charles Osgood has done a great job of collecting letters from people down through history that are wonderfully funny--witty, nutty, the whole gamut. Great book to pick up for a few minutes here and there.

Although the stories are O.K. they fail to meet the standard set by Charles live. A good book to bring to the Doctor's office.

A few good letters, most forgettable. The main problem as others say, just not very funny. I think he had a few ideas then stretched to fill a book.

I usually do not read this style of book, Charles Osgood is brilliant but a little dry for me. Once i got started though, it was an impressive, witty and charming smiley read and had a couple of laughs and even a chortles! i would recommend it fer sher!!!
