5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Will Save Your Sanity!!, February 4, 2003

By	Jen Lancaster "Author of BITTER IS THE NEW BLACK" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

I'd heard the buzz about Hire Me Dumbass, so I decided to check it out for myself. I bought it and immediately read it from cover to cover as soon as I received it. When I started to read, I wondered if I'd get bored halfway through, as by then the "joke" of these crazy letters would be old. But Joe kept coming up with different scenarios, so the book is fresh, funny, and fabulous from cover to cover! (I laughed so hard that my husband had to close his office door to concentrate while I read.) I'm not sure which letters are my favorite, but there's a part where he "confuses" letters to Kia and Ikea that caused me to hyperventilate.

Beyond just being clever, I think the book particularly resonated with me because, I, too am unemployed and have tried practically everything to get hired since my layoff in 2001. It has been so frustrating! But reading what Joe did to keep himself sane not only amused me, but also inspires me! So now every time I have another lousy interview, or get dinged for the perfect job, I only have to read Joe's book to get a smile on my face! Buy this book and you will smile, too!

Thanks, Joe... you rock!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money....., October 20, 2003

By	Karma (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

I bought this book thinking that it would be good "toilet lit", something for the guests to read. I really didnt like it, but since I spent the money I still put it in the guest bath. Turns out most of our guests thought it was dry and quite boring. We tend to enjoy the "letter sytle" books....but this one was pretty much the worst. I would tend to recommend either Consumer Joe (our current favorite) or Lazlo Letters. I hope this helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick and Funny!, December 22, 2003

By A Customer

From the title to the last letter this book was a fun and fast read. A real original humor book that gets funnier every time you read it. The fact that this was never meant to be a book in the first place makes the whole concept more hillarious. Great job to the author for its brilliant execution.
