Critical for guest bathroom libraries

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

Like "How to talk to your cat about gun safety" and "Flattened fauna, revised: A field guide to common animals of roads, streets, and highways," this was a terrific addition to the Porta-Library in our guest bathroom, ideal for those times when multitasking becomes an unplanned need. Love it when our guests come out of that bathroom laughing!

An excellent read whether you want to sit and read for a long period of time or to take just a few minutes to read two or three of the essays. He has a flair for the hilarious fused with some profound thought-provoking concepts that keep you thinking about some kernels of truths about our lifestyles.

Is this your kind of humor?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2022

Not my brand of humor. A Bathroom Reader book, collection of short supposedly humorous essays.
Example of humor, (attempting to lasso roaches like steers) "since roaches are very strong and could easily pull you off your horse and into the garbage pail or worse. A neighbor of mine riding sidesaddle recently was pulled off his horse and down the kitchen sink." And another, on a society page, announcing upcoming nuptials. "Doo Doo, who is known to her friends as Puff Puff, or to her very close friends as Dee Dee, or to the senior class at Dartmouth as Eee Zee, attended Miss Pinball’s School in South Braintree where she was voted most likely to become pregnant during inclement weather." If this is your brand of humor then get this book. I want my 2.99 back AMZON!!

This really works!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 30, 2010

I recently applied for a job at a prestigious software company, but I was rejected because they told me my I.Q. was about 3 points too low for the position I wanted. Crushed and humiliated, I desperately sought a "do-it-yourself" method for artificially raising my I.Q. so that I could acquire my dream job. My quest took months and miles of travel. I looked into expensive surgery, African herbal remedies, and even Haitian voodoo in order to increase my I.Q., all to no avail. Frustrated, I was ready to give up all hope and force myself to work the rest of my life as a repo man, when a friend recommended me this book. He said that he had purchased it a few years ago, and that it had raised his I.Q. by 50 points! Overjoyed, yet hesitant, I asked him what the title of the book was. He replied that the title was "How to Raise Your I.Q. by Eating Gifted Children."

Initially I was skeptical, as I have read that children, especially gifted children, are very low on fiber and other vital nutrients. Plus, they don't have a whole lot of meat to roast, which can kind of make you feel wasteful. My friend assured me that the book would address all of my questions, and that the method worked extremely well. Anxious to discover if devouring intelligent children would boost my I.Q., I eagerly tore into the book and read it in one night. All I can say is: WOW! It absolutely blew me away with all of the incredible recipes and tips for cooking and eating smart kids. It is written in a very easy-to-read, easy-to-understand manner that is readily accessible to all. It even has full color diagrams that illustrate the best ways to dismember and cook the children in order to achieve the best results. Even if this book didn't have practical applications, I would have given it 5 stars just for the quality of the writing and pictures.

But this book is intended to be used practically, and it would be all for nought if it didn't work like it said it would. The book explains that eating children with special talents will also make your talents increase in that area. For example, the consumption of a math whiz would improve your higher mathematics skills, frying a kid in drumline would improve your musical abilities, etc. Naturally, this factored into my choice of which child I would spit-roast to obtain a higher I.Q. Luckily, this wasn't too hard. Leroy, the 5th grader who lives down the street, got straight A's, won the science fair every year, and had built his own computer and hacked into the DOD database. On top of that, he was extremely obese and annoying as hell, so obviously this was an easy choice. A week ago, I offered to help him with his latest science project and he gladly accepted. He came over for the evening and I wasted no time in getting started.

The book states that the best way to devour a chunky kid is to kill him with a single gunshot wound, and to spit roast him for maximum results. Everything was all ready to go the second he walked in the door, so I delivered an instant headshot and secured him upon the spit roast I had set up in my living room. Since I wanted a savory meal, the slow roasting with all of my favorite exotic spices took about 10 hours. Once that was done, I put the most tender portions on my plate and poured myself a glass of wine. At first, nothing happened. For the next few hours, I felt that I had been ripped off. Frustrated at not feeling any different, I grabbed my Rubik's Cube. To my shock and amazement, I completed it in less than a minute! That's when I knew my I.Q. had increased. The next day I reapplied for the position and got hired.

In short, this is a fantastic book. I would recommend it to anyone looking to boost their I.Q. Granted, securing a child and successfully consuming him or her without arousing suspicion is a bit of a challenge, but the results are well worth it. I'm glad that someone has finally written a practical book that will allow many people to realize their dreams.

Not as funny as I'd hoped. Frumkes is a wit, but he wears thin; after a while, absurd and funny gives way to absurd and tedious.
