5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny a must buy, June 27, 2001

By	Edward B. Brickley "evilned" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First, let me say that I am biased. My web site is mentioned at the beginning of Chapter 2. When henry first contacted me my first thought was "Uh oh, this looks like a process server trying to locate me." Imagine my surprise when he told me he had written a book and I was in it. When he sent me a complimentary copy I read it and found my self chuckling in agreement, especially in his opnion of people posting to my web site. So I consider this a must buy if you are looking for interesting sites on the web.

4.0 out of 5 stars His book "Municipal Bondage" is the one to buy, December 30, 2002

By	Barbra Tarkenton (Simsbury, CT) - See all my reviews

Diverting and amusing though this work about the Internet is, it is not the book to buy if you're hoping to experience what this author does best. That would be his first book, Municipal Bondage.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sneezers, May 22, 2002

The chapter on sneeze fetishism (who knew?) is absolutely wild. I'm scared.
