I must be insane - I really like this book,
By Avid Reader (Buffalo, NY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poetry for the Insane: The Full Mental (Paperback)
Poetry for the Insane: The Full Mental makes fun of mental illness, it's politically incorrect and it's really disturbing when you read it and repeatedly laugh out loud, as I did, in spite of my best efforts to keep a straight face. It's rare that any book of humor makes me do much more than smile, but this one had me laughing so hard it hurt. This is really bent, twisted, off-beat poetry with some really crazy and funny ways of looking at things. I didn't want to like this book, but I love it. Check it out - it's like nothing else you'll ever read.

Poetry for the Insane: The Full Mental is fantastic,
By Book Lover "Lover" (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poetry for the Insane: The Full Mental (Paperback)
Poetry for the Insane: The Full Mental is like nothing I've ever read before. It's a unique experience. As soon as I saw the cover of this book showing a cracked egg with a bum crack, I knew this was going to be one weird and wonderful book, and I was right. Some of the funnier poems had me in tears as I was laughing so hard. Other poems made me think or look at life in a different way. It's a great book.

Poetry for the Insane: The Full Mental is wickedly funny,
By Maggy May (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poetry for the Insane: The Full Mental (Paperback)
Poetry for the Insane: The Full Mental is truly one of a kind. I especially enjoyed the wickedly funny poems Dirty Cleaning Woman, Small Favours, The Fart and King for a Day.
A very odd but very funny book. More people should discover this book of twisted humor. Some reviewers have suggested amazon should pair Poetry For The Insane: The Full Mental with Nora Ephron's I Feel Bad About My Neck. I think that's a wonderful idea. Both books deserve all the attention they can get.
