Customer Reviews

No time to review-- must start on book 3 of the trilogy

Another masterpiece of comedy and wisdom, all mixed up. I can't spend time crafting (sorry for the pun) a witty, informative review, because part 3 of the trilogy is calling "Read Me" from the bookcase and must be obeyed. Perhaps it is enough if I simply tell you that many of the profound observations (hidden in the comedy) made me reread parts of the book several times, and that, with the exception of a few critical pages in the Preface, I laughed out loud almost from beginning to end--multiple times, so hard I nearly lost consciousness.
