Book Overview

Mike Hunt Smells Like Fish: A Children's Book for Adults Who Should Know Better

Meet Mike Hunt. Mike Hunt smells like fish. Mike Hunt gets hairy, bleeds, squirts, once got crabs, scratched endlessly, has ingrown hairs, collects toys, has a piercing, gets pounded, farts with great force and power, and is the absolute freshest right after a shower. Presented in the warm and innocent style of a children's picture book, this is the surprisingly complete story of a man named Mike Hunt and all the completely normal, totally innocent things that happen to him on a daily basis. If you are already snickering at the name alone, congratulations, this book was written specifically for you and people exactly like you.

This is not literature. This is not satire with a deeper message or a moral at the end. This is a cheerfully illustrated picture book packed wall to wall with double entendres so obvious they practically trip over themselves on every single page. Brad Gosse has produced something deeply unnecessary here, and the world is measurably funnier for it. It reads in about three minutes, which is genuinely the correct and appropriate amount of time to spend on something like this.

Here is the pitch delivered with complete and total honesty: this book costs only a few dollars more than a greeting card. A greeting card that someone will read in approximately four seconds, place on a nearby surface, and throw directly into the recycling bin before the party is even technically over. This book will get read aloud to the entire room. Someone will do the voices. People will take photographs. It will get passed around the table. It will generate at least three solid minutes of genuine laughter, which is honestly more than most expensive streaming comedy specials manage these days.

You are not simply buying a book. You are buying a moment. A weird, slightly degenerate, completely defensible moment that you can attribute entirely and without hesitation to the author. Brad Gosse is a documented real person who created this on purpose and with full deliberate intent, which means the moral responsibility rests entirely and exclusively with him. Your hands remain completely clean. Just buy the book.
