Customer Reviews

Hilarious!

These idiot crook out-takes are belly-achingly funny. Some of these criminals are so stupid it's unbelievable, but that's what makes it so funny. Not one to miss!

I've never laughed so hard!

I have never read a book that made me laugh so hard that I was literally crying. The Stupid Crook Book is outrageously hilarious! The one story that really had me going was the one about the robber who broke into a home and made a [costly]call to a psychic. The guy was so dumb, he used his real name when calling the psychic. When the phone bill came a month later, the police easily traced the call back to the hotline and discovered the robber's identity and later arrested him. WHAT AN IDIOT! There are all kinds of idiotic crooks in this book, and all I could do was laugh at them! If you're needing lots of laughs in your life, then this book is the answer. Trust me, you're guaranteed to get the hiccups with this one!

UNBELIEVABLY stupid crooks

Another reviewer mentioned seeing this book on The Today Show. I saw that too. Al Roker was cracking up over it. This is the type of book I refer to as a "booty-sleeper." That's what I call a bathroom book* that is really too compelling to be a bathroom book, because it holds your interest so long you forget you're on the toilet until your bum falls asleep. Like Leland Gregory's crazy-911-call books (also booty-sleepers), The Stupid Crook Book is just really funny and stupid and highly amusing. It's unsettling to know there are people this dim among us, but I giggle almost continuously whenever I pick up this book.*For people who weren't raised with books in their bathroom: a bathroom book is any type of light reading consisting of small stand-alone pieces. It's a book you can open to pretty much any page and read a complete bit or bits within a minute or two--like trivia books, almanacs, collections of short-short stories or essays, and books like this one.

Leland's Audio CD's are just as funny.

It's another fall down funny book from Leland Gregory. Leland has emerged as one of America's "Wackiest" authors and his collection of realwacky comedy CD's are also a great addition to any fun lovers collection. Keep up the good work Leland, we're looking forward to your next book and realwacky CD.

Another HILARIOUS book!

Leland Gregory's What's the Number for 911? books are an absolute riot! His latest, The Stupid Crook Book, is even better. He said on the TODAY show that everything is true and verified, and amazingly he has amassed an entire book of truly stupid, funny, and entertaining things that criminals do.This is a perfect book if you need a laugh or you're looking for a great gift!
