5 Rolls!

Without a doubt, one of the funniest books I've ever read. I bought this book while on vacation for some light reading and I've never laughed so hard in my life. I'll agree that it's not dinner material, but it's riotous reading. One word of caution, don't have someone read this to you while you're trying to drive!

Horrifyingly, howlingly funny

I first bought this book as a gag for some of the guys I work with as a river guide. I made the mistake of reading it first, and laughed so hard I cried on several of the stories. My daughters were awakened by my laughter and came to see what mom thought was so funny. We (myself and 2 daughters) shared the laughter for a little over an hour, and many times since. It is the most often asked for book at my house, and, it has gone, and will continue to go on river trips and camping trips with me. Some people gross out when the stories are read aloud, but nearly all will pick it up, read it, and laugh about it in private.

Ever used a groover? This book's a scream; get it.

It's not often I laugh out loud when into a book, but this one'll do it. As a professional raft-guide in Colorado and Utah, my "Library" is available to all on our trips, and this one is by far the most popular with the customers. If you've used a groover once or a hundred times, you'll laugh and be grossed-out too. River-runners, put this book in your box.

Hilariously funny. Buy it now. Steal it if necessary.

This is a very funny book. If you are involved with river rafting or if you are taking a river trip soon, this is the book for you. The stories, although a bit gross from time to time, are all true and would be wonderful when read aloud around the campfire. I feel certain that this will be a real buy for those who have a sense of humor and adventure.

This is one funny book about poop

While this is not a fine piece of literature it will make you laugh out loud many times over. The stories are disgusting at times and they give you a good idea of what it must be like to be a hep river guide like this book's wacky author. It made me laugh and I recommend it highly -- especially to those of you out there that are still in touch with your third-grade toilet humor stage.
