5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh LOUD out loud, August 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Real Ponies Don't Go Oink! (Paperback)

Wow!!! This is the funniest book I have ever read. The way McManus writes is so unique, subtle humor along with out right hiariousness (if that's a word). Both men and women, country and city will enjoy this outdoor humor. I liked the fact that it was a bunch of short stories that you could read like a novel. It had the same main characters so you didn't have to always learn new people, but you could set the book down for days(if you could last that long)and not get confused. This is my first book of his and I cant wait to read more.

This review is from: Real Ponies Don't Go Oink! (Paperback)

I love most of McManus' work. This had some solid and funny stories in it but Pat seemed a little off his game in this one. I would still recommend it but there is better out there.

I think that "RPDGO" is OK. It's off the wall, funny, and different. So different, in fact, that it took me a while to get into his style. Read more
