I May Not Be a Smart Man, But I Know What Love Is

I read "The Complete Idoits Guide For Dumies," and like my mama said, some books are good and some are gooder. This one is just plain gooder. I loved it lots. I would recomend this book for anyone who needs a better way to understand what being mentally slow is. My mama said that dumies is as dumies does, and I think that lady got something there. Thank you, mama, and thank you United States of America.

Hilarious!

Although the authors could have done a better job proofreading -- they spelled both the words "Idiott's" and "Dummys" wrong in the TITLE, for gosh darn sakes -- I felt the book was informative and worthwhile for readers of any age, gender, or level of mental acuity. The book, which is clearly a parody and is obviously unaffiliated in any way with the official Dummies' and Idiot's guides that it mocks and spoofs, has definitely turned my frown upside down. If I could ever meet the authors, I would definitely ask them for a free copy of the book, but if they did not comply or couldn't understand what I was saying I would buy a copy with my own money. THE BOOK IS THAT GOOD.

Wet my pants laughing!

This book is a parody of the now annoying Idiots/Dummies Guides to most everything in life. It's a funny, dead-on spoof of the genre that will have those around you asking "What are you laughing about?" It's also suprisingly literate. I bought 7 for Christmas gifts!

A very, very funny book.

Any book that compares David Hasselhoff (favorably) to Mahatma Gandhi, lavishly praises pro wrestling ("it's real!")and proudly announces it has "no big ideas or words" is off to a good start with me. Despite what the authors claim ("the book that is the lowest common denominator")this baby is as smart and funny as anything I've read in a long time.
