Customer Reviews

a very worthwhile read

First, let me say that I read this book in one day, which is a feat in itself with my short attention span. And when I was finished, I honestly felt sad that it was over. Second, I'm not one to take the time to review books online, but this is one that is worthy of all the praise I can give it. This book is fantastic. It's the best book I've read in a long while. One moment, Fulghum is making you ponder some very deep subjects, and the next, he's got you laughing those really good, healthy belly laughs that are so few and far between. His insight on so many ordinary subjects is astounding. You will find yourself relating to some of the stories and touched or delighted by the others. My mother encouraged me to read this, and I've encouraged everyone I know to read it. Get this book. It's really worth the read.

Excellent short read

Robert Fulghum has a way of coming across quite simple, but his perceptions are actually quite intricate. You'll more than likely find some of your own ponderings in his thoughts. And then again, some of his ponderings must be charmingly and uniquely his.

Wow.

I haven't read any Fulghum since high school (All I Really Need to Know . . .), but saw this in the bookstore, and thought it would be a fun read.It was. But it was also a great read. At different points, Fulghum had me laughing out loud and crying. I loved every word.And if you do read this book (which I highly recommend--it'll be the best 5 hours of your life), please do take his advice, and hiccup in a very public place--it's hysterical!

Fulghum rules

After a great many funny and hearthwarming books, Fulghum strikes back again with Uh-Oh. Fulghum style again. It's simple: if you hate this style, you hate this book. If you love it -like I do- you'll love this book. Memories and musings of an every-day-life-philosopher who does not take things for granted. Maybe you never thought about fireflies or the true meaning of cinderella fairytales, but it's a great journey to travel with one who does. It takes you to roads you've never been before. I'd say: buy it, and have a good trip!

Wow!

This book is great simply because it fully illustrates many quirks of the human spirit. All of the little stories are quite enlightening, and the metaphoric ideas Mr. Fulghum introduces are intrigueing in the extreme.
