3.0 out of 5 stars
when you up to your eyeballs,
By "sdemidow" (Sebastopol, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When You're Up to Your Eyeballs in Alligators (Paperback)
Honestly, I'm a little surprised at the other 5 star reviews. This book spends way too much time making a case for why laughter is important and what it could do if you incorporate more of it into your life. OK we get the picture now give some techniques, stories and tell some jokes. I was half way through the book and realized that it was like one big motivational informercial. Yes, the whole book was an introduction in my opinion and never seems to progress. Simply put, based on the other reviews I expected a lot more chafe than wheat.

Every Doctor should keep one on his desk!,
By TRiley9171@aol.com (Palm Springs, Calif.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When You're Up to Your Eyeballs in Alligators (Paperback)
While I truly love the title of this book, if I had been around when Mr. Wilde was getting ready to go to press, I would have strongly suggested taking a different path - perhaps along the lines of a "how to" or self-help" book. The reason? I believe too many people will think this offering is strictly for laughs, when in fact it carries within its pages a message so powerful, yet so simple, it should be required reading from high school on. Oh, and it is funny - especially the stories about the legends of entertainment. Do yourself and a good friend a favor - buy the book and pass it on. Buy one for your doctor. Contact your library and ask them to buy one. Spread the word that this "good book" is available and just watch what happens. So often the power of an idea is in its simplicity! Thank you Mr. Wilde for this wonderful prescription for good health.

This review is from: When You're Up to Your Eyeballs in Alligators (Paperback)
Larry Wilde has a knack for mixing successful coping strategies with side-splitting humor. In this book, the two go hand-in-hand. The jokes and funny stories are right on the money, and are used to illustrate the author's program for tackling even the toughest situations life can dish out. A book you can return to again and again.
