Gift from God

Lit with the same ineluctable fire as the best of Shakespeare, Chekov, David Berkowitz, and Ada Louise Huxtable. What does ineluctable mean?

Perfect for bathroom reading

Remember the Jeff Goldblum character in "The Big Chill" who played a writer for People magazine? He admitted that no story took longer to read than the average trip to the bathroom. Well, "The Tribe Has Spoken" is the perfect book for bathroom reading. It's a hilarious look at the wit and wisdom of deep thinkers like Ozzy Osbourne and Anna Nicole Smith. You're unlikely to be wiser after reading "The Tribe Has Spoken," but you will leave the bathroom with a smile on your face.

highly entertaining

This book is an easy laugh-just try reading it out loud with friends and keep a straight face! Volk pokes fun at the characters and then gives us 'life-lessons' to learn on every page. Guaranteed funny. I'll put this book on my gifts-to-give this holiday season.

Laugh-out-loud funny!!

I count just a few reality TV shows as guilty pleasures. Volk has ensured that I never have to watch the rest. This book is out-and-out pee-in-your-pants funny!! Favorite quote is by none other than Ozzy Osbourne on Page 94. Great gift book for damn near anyone who watches TV.

For fun and light reading

I do not watch reality TV, but someone recommended this as a fun-to-read book, for those who do and do not watch these shows. Provides comic relief at a reasonable pace; a great place to laugh at ourselves and, for some, to relive some of their favorite episodes. This is a great fast and funny view of life's lessons.
