Lame

This book did not live up to my expectations. I read this book cover to cover in one seating and I din't even crack a smile. The best single word to describe this book is "Lame". Disappointed.

Dont take yourself so seriously.

A lot of funny items within the book.It is a really great way of carrying the AA message.

Funny and touching

I just read this book and find it not only funny but thought provoking. It made me think of some of the things that were going through my head early in my recovery. As a recovering addict/alcoholic I find it refreshing that someone besides myself can find humor in some of the past (and sometimes present) behaviors. I would highly recommend this book to other people in recovery.
