5.0 out of 5 stars A seriously funny look at man's new best friend, Viagra., July 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Viagra Nation: The Definitive Guide to Life in the New Sexual Utopia (Paperback)

In the post-Viagra universe, every Leaning Tower of Pisa can be a Washington Monument. Or at least that's the premise behind this laugh-out-loud- funny book celebrating the wonder drug that gives new meaning to the phrase "Magic Johnson."

The authors dispense with the so-called hard facts about Viagra--so people are dying from it. What a way to go!--and go right for the big shtick. How "Viagran" are you? Take their quiz and find out. Glimpse the Viagran bachelor pad. (Hint: It comes equipped with air bags.) And see what the swingin' Viagran wears to bed. How about breakaway pajamas--extra baggy.

This is the perfect book to give to your Dad, your grandfather, your husband, the guy in the next office, and most of all that ex-boyfriend who used to experience, well, technical difficulties. Viagra Nation kept me up all night. . .laughing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Potent Humor, November 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Viagra Nation: The Definitive Guide to Life in the New Sexual Utopia (Paperback)

Dropped on an unsuspecting public, Viagra, the little blue pill that can, has done wonders for (a) the love lives of elderly men, (b) Pfizer Corp. stock and (c) the bad-joke industry. Now, in the second wave of Viagra humor, comes a hilariously clever book that addresses issues we thought we'd never have to ponder, like what to do in the case of a Viagra overdose, the effects of Viagra on pets and how to fill your prescription without the whole town knowing.

Eisenberg, an editor for creative development at TIME, and McCall, whose humor has brightened the pages of The New Yorker, took only two months to crank out this amusing gem. Give it to a male friend who's having a significant birthday.
