Reviews
In most cases, the titles themselves are hilarious on their own. In the context of the whole illustrative package, however, the jokes rise to another level: one that may involve laughing to the point of pants-wetting, depending upon the strength of the reader's pelvic floor muscles., I am thrilled to see this collection highlight kid's lit mainstays such as vomiting, cockfights, hobos and kidney transplants. Go Gackley!, Will make you long for the simpler more innocent days when we would routinely burn books like this.

  • Disappointing

    I was excited by the concept, but the succession of bad book covers that comprise this book quickly became repetitive, so much so that I didn't read to the end, and probably won't. Whether too much of a bad thing or not enough of a good one, I have no interest in sharing it with friends as planned, and therefore don't recommend it.

  • Funny

    The content may be offensive to some so be warned. I found it to be funny with a dark side , comedic genius I give it two thumbs up. NOT FOR CHILDREN
