…embarrasing wicked schooldays came back, recalling that kid who always treaded on thin air with both teacher and schoolyard bullies. -- Seattle Free Lancer, June 2004 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars God awful, January 24, 2007

By	George M Woods (Anchorage, AK USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: All the Ways I Found to Hurt Myself (Paperback)

Self-published and unedited (it shows) ad hominem recollections of the author's childhood. He seems mostly intent on proving that he didn't need the education he refused to get as a child. He's wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars All The Ways I Found to Hurt Myself, May 2, 2006

By	Stuart J. Bracken (Puyallup, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: All the Ways I Found to Hurt Myself (Paperback)

I have had a chance to finish both Vol. 1 & 2 and as I read these books I had an overwhelming feeling that our feline friends are plotting against Alan. For millions of years cats have had the monopoly on having the most chances of surviving sheer death as it stared in their faces for up to 9 times. When one reads these books they will realize that our furry friends have been beaten out of that title by an uncountable amount. These books are not just amazing to think how Alan survived all of his perils they are hilarious as well. Every chapter in each book takes the reader on journeys that most stunt men cower at. Looking at Alan one could never imagine he went through the horrors he did as he hides his scars well.

If you want to read something that is funny and laugh at Alan's expense you will do well to buy these books. Your friends will look at you oddly as you laugh out loud with tears running down your face. For some of us we will see ourselves from time to time (but not all the time, thank God) and you will be laughing at yourself as well as Alan.

Thanks Alan for sharing your life's dilemmas and encounters---I am truly looking forward to Vol. 3

5.0 out of 5 stars My Wife Has Always Said That Crazy Guy Now You Have Comfirmed It, June 30, 2005

By	Phillip S. Dunkel (Natoma Kansas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After almost three years with out contact with Alan I called just to talk about old times, he suggested that I buy the book as I would laugh my ass off.
I did and he was right, of course knowing him personnally help and I want to say honestly that on three seperate occassions I laughed and couldn't catch my breath until after I passed out. After the second time I wasn't going to read anymore but of course I did and passed out once more and then guess I became hardened and finished the book with just laughing a lot and sharing the laughs with my wife.
Was disappointed that my name didn't come up but he didn't make it to that stage of his liofe but am sure it will in volume 2 or 3.
If I were to make any adjustments to it I think while Alan is correcting anything his name should have three syables Alan Gor-such-ski or Alan Gor-such-stein allowed in our age not meaning any harm to anyone if it did please forgive me if you knew me as a person you would know I meant no harm and if some one would say the same thing meaning harm they would never do it again in my presence.
