Customer Reviews

Good start, but you'll still need some imagination

Roasts are notoriously frightening. You assume that the roastee will enjoy being roasted but you're not always so sure. This book gives some great quips to start you out. I thougt most of them were on the tame side, a few were a little dated ( kind of reminded me of Johny Carson jokes - which would be fine but I'm not exactly Johny Carson). That could be because I'm a Gen-Xer. If you're trying to roast the CEO and not the CIO, this would probably help you more than it did me. One of the best features was the indexing which was very well done.
