Customer Reviews

fun book

I enjoyed this book. I liked it so much, I bought a second copy as a gift.I'll Be Sober in the Morning

Fun and Common Sense

This little booklet brought many a chuckle and often had me seeking further information on an event, thus adding to my knowledge of historical trivia.

I'll Still Be Laughing in the Morning

Political humor is a fertile field for harvesting, and Chris Lamb has combined and baled for us a delightful crop of egotism, argumentation, acerbic wit, and outright insults from political greats from both Europe and the US during the last two to three centuries. I read it in one sitting and howled. It is now ensconced in my guest bathroom where several other people have also read it in one sitting. In this year rife with snipes and snippets in the American political scene, it's great fun to enjoy the rivalries and repartee of historical politicians of note. When are you going to compile another, contemporary volume, Mr. Lamb? I hope other readers enjoy your book as much as I have.

Really Fun Book

Loved this little book - it reads quickly, and is a great compendium of comebacks and putdowns by the rich and famous. Good stocking stuffer for pursuers of political trivia, opponents of the politically correct, and for those like me who always say "I wish I'd said that!". I only wish it had been longer.
