Physically Satisfying

I gave this book five stars even though it is not literally the most perfect book ever made. (That would be a little book I like to call Auto Repair For Dummies.) Here is a very even-handed review of the book: PROS: * Rolls up easily into a tube to serve as a make-shift telescope with startlingly clear 1:1 magnification * Will work in a pinch to kill insects smaller than the book, if swung with gusto and palpated terror * Contains tweets from many of my friends * Found in the top drawer of every hotel room in which Nick Douglas has ever stayed * Includes handy pull-out section for you to write in your own tweets * Puzzles: Some tweets contain secret, anagrammed messages! (Page 82 has a DOOZY) CONS: * Also contains tweets from several of my mortal enemies (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) * Covers are very floppy, almost like they're made out of paper * Smells delightfully of lilac * Will bring a smile to the grumpiest of literate faces * Prompts everyone who was in the book to write a silly review of it * No answer key or teacher's edition In the end, your annoying insect infestation won't stand a chance against this tiny powerhouse. I WILL IGNORE ALL REBUTTALS OF THIS REVIEW FROM INSECTS AND INSECTOIDS. EDIT #1 8/28/2009: The book is looking at me. EDIT #2 8/29/2009: Grammer, punctuation, and cockney rhyming slang corrections.

A Triumph of the Human Spirit Pretty Much

There are literally millions of books, and this one is no exception. Flip it open for a quick lol. Start at the beginning to experience the story in its intended sequence. Or maybe read several pages and then skip to the end to see if you solved the mystery correctly. Twitter Wit lets you decide, as Douglas guides us on a dark journey into the minds of some of Twitter's most underemployed layabouts. Along the way, he examines the human condition and whatever. This is totally the Dances With Wolves of Twitter books.

I can't stop laughing!

I am absolutely hilarious in this book. Nick did a great job of showing my depth. You will all love me, guaranteed.

Mostly About Me

This book contains a lot of things written by ME so I'm giving it 5 stars.
