3.0 out of 5 stars Not funny, poor selection, March 28, 2011

This review is from: The Nasty Quote Book (Hardcover)

The subtitle reads: "Over 2,000 vicious, barbed, and completely funny quips and quotes by and about the famous and infamous." I looked through the whole book for something really good and, to be honest, I didn't find a whole lot. Sure, there were those that were somewhat witty, but overall it was a disappointment.

I'm giving it 3 stars because it was well-organized and -indexed, but if you're looking for some great insults this isn't the right book.

I can't resist. While browsing (after being advised to buy The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss) I saw the title. Anyone who uses "quote" as a noun needs either a new editor or, preferably, a new education.
