Customer Reviews

Terrific!

I love the MikWright cards and this compilation of their cards is hysterical. I love their comedic style. As with all their books and cards, I highly recommend this!

Life from a different angle

The Mikwright books like this take a photo from a normal aspect of life and add their own their own commentary to it from a point of view that is just a little bit different from the rest of the world. It makes for some great fun and very entertaining reading. It's perfect for the quick occasional mindless break. An excellent bathroom book - though when you hear your guests laughing out load when they are in there, you will probably wonder what else they might really be up to.

A Shocking Look at Old Snapshots

... "Did we really look like that?" When family gathers around old snapshots it's a comment you're sure to hear. Here we have a fat little paperback (pages unnumbered) chock full of old photos that look much like the ones from your own album. Each has an explanation or a memory from the author's families so it's sort of a memoir gone mad. In the acknowledgment the reader is assured that these anecdotes contain "flagrant exaggerations and distorted facts" as a trio of humorists, identified only as Tim, Phyllis and Bob, share their family secrets. And, though lampooned, the reader is aware that this zany family is also loved and perhaps a whole lot less dysfunctional than many. In addition to the little yarns explaining each picture, there is often a sassy blurb in the tradition of your decades-old high school yearbook with a little more spice that would have been...er..ahem...appropriate in the 50s. This book will make a great gift for someone who needs to loosen up a bit, laugh more, get on with it, for gawd's sake. Wait! Don't give it away yet! Read it first! I'm sure this trio of nuts will have no objections at all to their book doing double duty.

Roaringly funny, holiday gatherings at their most hilarious

I bought this book for a friend, but before I sent it off, me and my entire family managed to flip through all the pages and we all roared. Mikrights, Family Style is in the same style of the other MikWright books- old black and white photos with captions. The sass, witt and sheer humor in the captions, as well as the pictures, will get anyone with a remote sense of humor to laugh. Everyone's experienced at least 1 similar scene or character with their family- the glares after long standing fights, the oddball aunt in her even stranger dress striking a pose for the camera, etc. You've really got to see it to fully grasp the genius of Tim Mikkelsen!Take a minute and find the book in your store's Humor section, if you don't buy it, at least you will be amused!
