Customer Reviews

Scary Book.....

You know how they have the Scary Movie's where they make fun of the other movies. This book made me think of that as the author pokes fun at every thing and every one under the sun. Truly up there with one of the funniest books I have ever read. It is a fun and easy read. Highly recommended.

A not so gentle lampooning

As one who detests such drivel as "The Secret", I read this with wary anticipation, being favorably disposed towards the practicality of "Who moved my cheese" and hoped that it would be spared the Author`s literary wrath.Actually, I was relieved after realizing that the Author`s disdain was confined to the former work only. This is written in a breezy style, yet with a careful blend of understatement and farcicality it avoids falling into the miry pit of silliness.In fact, some of the metaphors are such that one needs a post graduate degree to fully digest them.It is quite humorous and performs a thorough autopsy of the " mysterious force-field" known as the "Secret". Indeed, this was a worthwhile read.

Brilliant Satire of New Age "Philosophy"

Jim Gerard has something unique going on. His writing is simultaneously old-fashioned and as up-to-date as today's "Times." He's old-fashioned in the best sense of the word. He respects traditional humor writing, and he is adding his not inconsiderable talent to that tradition. His references to lowbrow trash as well as high art are evidence of an immense if somewhat bizarre cultural education. In fact, you better have a strong background in everything from the Three Stooges to Kierkegaard if you want to catch all the jokes in "Who Moved My Secret?" And Gerard has more jokes per page in this book than any other writer publishing today. He is just flat-out funny. I don't know about you, but that's my rather simple comic litmus test. Jim Gerard gets a 100.
