Great bathroom reading, August 26, 2000
People are strange, as this collection of personals demonstrates. Car analogies, movie analogies, alliteration, alphabetizing, Elvis fans, desires for strange amalgams (Jim Carrey and Albert Einstein), and many more. Great bathroom reading and very funny at times.

Al Gives Personals Best!, May 9, 2000
OK, we know AL, Girl Reporter, from the 'zine world. She was a pioneer in 'zines. Her "Thrift Score" zine was just great fun, wonderful writing and heads above the other stuff. Al Hoff was into thrift stores, before they became today's thrift bores. Fortunately for us, Al has a compulsive writing habit for which there is no 12-step program, so she just keeps producing. Knowing Al's humor, I thought this book would be a good funny read. Well, excuse me, but this book is riotous. Honest. I roared! Al's picks are just so cool. What truly drives Al is the sense of the absurd, but with a heart, ya know? This would be great book for any cool or not even so cool person. I like the shape, too. It's 5 1/2 inches square. Very toteable. And it has big print for our hip grannies. The book is funny. Al is one of America's best kept secrets. Spread the word. Get the book. It is so funny!

Al Hoff slogs through thousands of personals, all for you., October 26, 1999
By A Customer
A relentlessly funny and perceptive writer, Ms. Hoff has, literally, waded through upwards 100,000 personal/romance ads from all over the country. She's lugged back the weirdest, most hilarious ones. She has edited and arrayed same to provide a keen insight into how human beings seek each other out in these late 20th Century United States.
