Customer Reviews

Hilarious!

I laughed at nearly every page of this book, which made me feel better considering I purchased the Graph Jam book at the same time (which ended up being a huge disappointment). The "story" the book follows is really clever, and the captions are just as funny as the pictures. If you're a fan of the site, then this little book is essential - some of the best selections from the site, and some I don't remember seeing! Definitely one of the best books by the Cheezburger network, and I've read and own almost all of them.

Great Gift for anyone into Fail Blog!

This book is simply a collection of all the wonderful pieces on Fail Blog. Great piece to put on a coffee table or in a bathroom! :)

For Your Convenience An Elevator Is Located In China

"Fail Nation" is a collection of photos originally posted on the Internet which illustrate classic gaffes of all sorts. The book is all color and nicely made, and the photos are generally well selected and captioned. There are numerous classic errors here, and generally my favorites are in the "Where to Eat" and "Where to Stay" sections. My very favorite appears on p. 74, showcasing a daily chicken special at Popeye's. I rather like Popeye's chicken, but will never be able to think of this particular dish in the same way. You will read through the book very quickly; I've read it several times now and it never fails to entertain (if you'll pardon the pun). If you are a fan of surreal humor, satire, or simply like gawking at the colossal errors of others, this book is for you.

Half-a-fail

I Enjoy the website, check it daily, however I was a little disappointed with the book. I thought the selections could have been better and the captions used in the book were not as good as the ones on the website. Its lost that lovin feeling and its gone....gone .. gone...whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa

Epic Win!!

Classic book for the ages! I got this book at work and just flipping through the book had me in splits! Co-workers were like WTH? Well worth the money - I promise you won't be able to stop laughing.
