4.0 out of 5 stars
Very funny if not taken too seriously
This book was pretty funny. Obviously anyone who reads this material thinking it's going to be a laugh riot will be disappointed. But it serves its purpose well, it's a great parody of the dummies books with their cutesy icons and tips. I don't understand how anyone can say it wasn't at least 2 or 3 stars.

Moderately funny
Well, it had to happen. This slim tome lampoons the very
successful "For Dummies" series. Each chapter sends up
a different book in the series with more or less success.
The Sex for Dummies chapter was quite funny, while the
Internet for Dummies chapter was pretty lame (even lamer

Even so, at under eight bucks it's a fine stocking stuffer
for any Dummies lover.

This book is not funny and a waste of time and money, May 12, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Life for Real Dummies: Life for the Totally Clueless (For Dummies Series) (Paperback)
This book is not funny - a total waste of time and money. Poorly written, awkwardly constructed and riddled with humor not worthy of fifth graders. I do not know who these so-called writers are, but they are not humorists. Avoid at all costs
