Good Times For All

This book is a hilarious, satirical bucket o' fun for those of us who are proud to still be fighting the good fight against the moral police. I, for one, am proud to call myself a vodka-swilling, tobacco-smoking, un-politically correct, hedonistic, debaucherous twentysomething - and thanks to this book, I'll have all the extra tips and advice a girl could ever need when navigating the cold, gloomy winters of Boston. I loved...

finally, a self-help book you'll WANT to read

This book is hilarious. It is sardonic, offensive and cynical, but in the GREATEST ways. Every page made me crack up out loud.

The search is futile because we live in a culture which bombards us with a million different messages saying that we aren't good enough, productive enough, thin enough,...

Anyone who can't help smirking in the "Self-Help" section will find the recommendations in this book both slightly familiar and vaguely alluring. The fact that they're also shocking and disgusting is what makes it a good read. Stamen and Wasson succeed in making us laugh at things we suspect we ought to find deeply offensive, and their send-up of popular self-help plans and cliches is funny and informed. The book is gratifying...

A hilarious satire that's both funny and insightful

This is a hilarious satire of self-help books that skewers everything from internet dating to self-mutilation and eating disorders with wit and style. The book works not only as a parody of the form but as a surprisingly insightful dissection of self-destructive behavior. Every page has material that will make the reader laugh out loud, and anyone who's ever behaved in a manner detrimental to themselves will find the writers'...
