This is an interesting read, well written in a simple and easy-to-follow style, and is loaded with anecdotes and statistics. As McKay shares a lot of stories about kids, this book is acceptable for children old enough to read it and in fact we would encourage kids to read it.

LOL who would buy this book?
David
There are certain situations where a simply-uttered profane word says it all, and it feels good to just say that word, even just to yourself when nobody's around.

I can't in good conscience recommend this book. The English-speaking world would be greatly impoverished if works containing vulgar language were censored. I would never give up George Carlin! David Mamet never let me down! Vulgar double-entendres run around in Shakespeare's work, and the thought of him deserting me is too horrible to contemplate. This book is proof positive that children should be seen and not heard (in some cases, not even seen), and CERTAINLY not published. The idea that adults should be bossed by a 14-year-old is the height of presumption. The "most cyberbullied" claim on the cover is also offensive. There are kids who have actually committed suicide over cyberbullying, so using a claim like that as a method to promote book sales is egregiously crass, in my opinion.

Format: Perfect Paperback
I first heard of the No Cussing club online, and read both the Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Dramatica articles (both articles are full of invaluable information, though ED is more funny) and decided to check out the club site. I am appalled at how poorly designed that site is, and the sheer cheesiness of the whole site.

This book and site are a laugh. I can understand the principle of speaking more cleanly - some people DO cuss too much, but instead of telling these kids to please stop, he had to go and create a club. In principle, it sounds silly. In practice, it's actually ludicrous. This poor kid has set himself up to be cussed at for his club - and I don't blame these people who want to cuss at him.

Cusswords exist in society for a reason. Yes, they're sometimes abused, but honestly, everything always has some people who abuse it. I'm not going to exclaim a silly or cutesy word when I cut myself with a knife. I'm going to blurt out a nice profanity that makes me feel better. Or if something really bad happens, I'll go 'OH S****' instead of saying 'whoops, that's bad!' or anything like that. There are certain situations where a simply-uttered profane word says it all, and it feels good to just say that word, even just to yourself when nobody's around.

You know what they say about not judging a book by its cover, right? Well, you can, for this one. Instead of a relaxed, natural pose with a friendly smile, McKay has chosen to show you his side, and his expression... it's hard to describe. It's like he's trying to pose as cool, looking down at you for cussing, and smirking at the same time. And also a pathetic attempt at 'I'm too cool to cuss'. I guess this is the best way I could describe his facial expression and pose, but he fails at that.

Format: Perfect Paperback
I recently purchased this book for my child to reward him for his good behaviour. He has never sworn around me or around other parents, he restricts his internet useage to educational sites that I have pre-approved (such as informative online encyclopedias), he completes all his chores without argument, be it washing the car or helping his little sister get ready for baths - he even suprises us by cooking the most delicious cakes, but after reading this book he has become unmanageable. It's like this book turned on some kind of innner demon inside of him where he refuses to do as he is told, refuses to help wash his little sister and, most suprisingly, swears over 9000 times a day (though this is probably a slight exaggeration). Me and his mother do not know what to do. We burnt the book in a tasteful wiccan ceremony but it still has his grip on him.

If anyone knows how to return him to his former-self (without all the swearing and disobedience) I'd be more than happy to hear it. We are open to potential spells, after all a spell did help to bring back our favourite dog 'Brocolli', but we don't want to cause him any further harm.

Be careful of this book. It looks innocent but looks can be deceptive.

The reason why the author was bullied wasn't because he simply didn't like cussing, but rather he was rude and a jerk about others cussing around him. I also find the excuse that cussing makes you sound unintelligent shallow and based in nothing-just because someone chooses to use a different word than you would doesn't mean they are less smart than you. Like wise, vice versa. There are a million other ways to curb cussing rather than shaming others for their choices.

I found this in the dollar bin and decided to get it for a good laugh. I couldn't even laugh it was that bad. You could maybe rule 34% out of this book as somewhat amusing because they're serious about how they feel that imposing their hurt feelings onto my first amendment right is AWESOME AND A-OKAY. No, sweetheart. At least 100 times I found myself putting this down and being sad for people like this. This was so not cash.

Not worth it. Not even funny. Does not write itself. Sad, self-promoting, and pretentious.

I cannot begin to tell you how overzealous and pigheaded this book comes across.
Because to put it into words will quite possibly give you a terminal disease.

Disease is actually a good analogy, because that's what this backward group is, a plague looking to wipe out freedom of speech.

This is the 21st century. the vast majority of people genuinely do not give a flying dingle berry (Stupid Amazon swear filters) about so called "bad" language.

Swearing can be a good way to vent frustration and used constructively, it can be used to truly emphasize a point. I'm not saying one should blast obscenities at the nearest geriatric, but why restrict language in any form.

Whatever happened to "I don't agree with your words, but I'll die to defend your right to use them".

I'll give an example. FURRIES ARE ALL SEXUAL DEVIANTS!

Now you may not agree with my words (and I hope you recover from your head trauma soon) but I as a free person will always have the right to say it.

Still... winter is coming (at least it is in Britain) so if firewood is at an extreme low I can definitely recommend a
bulk purchase.
