Scott is a god

This is one of the best books I have read in many years. I was rolling on the floor laughing at least ten times during course of this book. I would recomend it to anybody who enjoys Scott's work. I think I have read the book 5 times since I bought it last month. 6 stars!

Cornygirl, Cornygirl, Cornygirl!

I have never laughed out loud at a book before, but Buddy Babylon made me spit my water halfway across the room quite a few times. By far, the funniest book i've ever read.

Great, funny, very good.

Yes! By the marvelous works of The Kids in the Hall, or at least one of the member's character, this is an astonishing book. But again, we are plagued by a work that isn't humorous to those who aren't previously Kids in the Hall fans, like their movie. But then again, I am a fan, and I loved it. To put it simply: Funny, read.

Funny and, surprisingly, very touching

This book is extremely funny and entertaining. I never got bored reading it, and for me that's quite an accomplishment. What surprised me, though, is how well-written and genuinely touching it was. Don't take me wrong-it's not schmaltzy or anything-but the characters seem real. OK, maybe not the two-headed daughter.

My sides hurt and I scared people on the train!

I admit it, I thought Buddy was WONDERFUL on Kids In The Hall. I watched him so many times I learned the monologues. Now I have a whole new source to draw from. I laughed so hard at parts of this book I actually drew the attention of people on the train I take home. I am giving my copy to my roommate to read when I am done. And I would suggest it to anyone with a biting sence of humor, and an open mind. BUY IT! (And as a side note, I don't know if it helps to be gay or not. I am gay, so I don't know what it would be like to read this book as a straight person!)
