Lampoon Book Gets Gold Star for Pretty Pics

The Lampoon's newest masterwork is amazing. It is the first book I have ever read. My mom was so happy when I finished it that she slapped one of her irremovable gold stars on my forehead. I can't really read yet, as I am two and three-quarters, but the illustrations were top notch. They really helped me get through all those words and understand what they were talking about. I don't know who ALB is, but if its a girl, I want to meet her and take her out to dinner and also borrow any turpentine she may have as nothing else will remove these gold stars. I highly recommend it because, contrary to popular belief, it does not sting when you apply it to the skin and it makes you see funny pictures--just like the Lampoon book. :)--MLO

Da Bomb

Look, I don't consider myself much of a "reader" or what have you. I've never gone for the Jewish arts of booklearning. I'm not queer or anything like that. But sometimes in your life you just come across a book that changes everything. A book that really makes you stop and think. A book that seems almost revelatory. I don't even know what revelatory means. A book that gives you an epiphany. Is this that book? No. Well, okay, maybe it is. I love you and I love this book. 5 stars, baby!!!!

It's about time

What a delightful reality check for those who feel that children need to read by age 2, learn computer software on their parents lap at 6 months etc. Let kids be kids- at least until they are 5 years old!!!!

this book is the kizzity

Yo, I read this book and let me just tell you one thing and that is that it is the bomb, yo. I didn't read the whole thing, but I read most of it, and the only reason i didn't read the whole thing was i was laughing too hard!! I was eating cereal once and milk came out of my nose when i was reading this book. The stuff about the SAT and also the stuff about Brown U. was TOTALLY right-on. I have never laughed so hard at anything, not even when we put my cat in the microwave or anything like that. this is sincerely the funniest thing in the world.

Hellzzz Yeah!

I died when I read this book, literally! It is so freaking funny. My favorite part is when they talk about the different colleges. I don't go to college, but if I did I bet they would write about it, and you know what? It would be frigging the bomb just like the rest of this book! Man oh man I am literally still rolling on the floor from this book, literally! Buy it, you won't regret it. It makes a wonderful gift for your child in high school.If you want to talk more about this I'd love to my name is hotdogger
