Customer Reviews

LOL ROTFLMAO

This book is laugh out loud funny. These folks have clearly been lawyers - they use the style and multiple synonyms of lawyers perfectly - do lawyers get paid by the word? - but they also are funny in a way that works for everyone.A contract about whether the peanut butter stays in the fridge, whether the toilet paper rolls from the top or the bottom? Were the listening in my house?

Great comedy and a great relationship test

Me v. Everybody is a genius book -- not only did it make me laugh out loud over and over, but it also made me think about the relationships in my life. Could I fulfill these contracts? What kind of implicit understanding is beneath my friendships and other relationships? The best kind of book: Something to laugh about, and something to think about. Get it for your book group, and see if anyone could sign these -- or if they'd have to breach them!

Brilliant and truly funny

There are few books that make me laugh aloud...and in public. This book is wise, funny, eloquent, witty, and beautifully designed. It will be the gift all of my friends get this year. Just buy it. I promise you won't be sorry.
