5.0 out of 5 stars A very, very funny read, June 22, 2006

By	jbs (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviews

A co-worker of mine strongly recommended "White Trash Etiquette" on a recent business trip, and was kind enough to let me borrow his copy. I read it cover-to-cover in my hotel room, and spent a good chunk of time chuckling at Dr. Verne's musings on life. This is a very, very funny book. It's quite original -- I've seen nothing like it. Dr. Verne shares his wisdom on all sorts of funny issues ranging from scams to sports to love. Dr. Verne's take on life is downright hilarious. This is a great book for a cover-to-cover read, or for someone who just has bits of time and wants to have a quick laugh. This book will definitely put a smile on your face.

5.0 out of 5 stars White Trash Etiquette, January 11, 2009

By	Patricia Raines (Indiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

White Trash Etiquette is absolutely the funniest book I've read in a long, long time. Do not read in Dr. offices, planes, etc, less the public around you might wonder! It is laugh out loud humor. Edstrom is a genius for the fact he writes exactly like some people talk-which is not an easy task!
If you like humor, don't miss this one. Personally, I hope he's working on another book soon to be published!
