Rating:  Summary: He's still by God crazier than an old hammer dog! Review: As always, Deep Thoughts is more senseless nonsense and occasional wise insights to torture those around you with. Don't pass it up!
Rating:  Summary: Superficial rambling...Kill me now! Review: As I trudged through this sad excuse for a book, I kept asking myself, "Why am I not placing this book in a fire?" And I could never come up with a decent response. This book brought about one reaction, and that was vomit.
Rating:  Summary: Get lost in "The Lost Deep Thoughts" Review: I happen to like the "Deep Thoughts" seiries, so of course I like this one. Jack's way of turning a situation into a psychobabble feel good statement is hilarious and the pairing of the nature photographs reminds me of those dumb motivational posters at work - you know, the one where it's a photograph of an eagle flying over a canyon and it says something such as "Strive with all your being to fly as the eagle does fly and makes more widgets for our company to make huge profits from" or some nonsense like that. (Okay, the signs _don't_ say the widget thing.) It's vaguely comforting to read this book, to know that Jack's still out there (in more ways than one!) pondering his "deep thoughts" and sharing them with us. If you enjoyed the other books, you'll want this book.

Rating:  Summary: This Book is Very FUNNY Review: I Really enjoyed this book it is really funny
Rating:  Summary: Very good, but not as good as the original "Deep Thoughts". Review: I recomend this book to anyone and everyone. It is a very funny and random book which I enjoy. The book doesn't take long to read, but when you look back at it every year you'll laugh at the fond memories which it has brought into your life. Hambone and Flippy still crack me up. If you are a newcomer to the Jack Handey universe of whimsical knowledge, you will enjoy "Deep Thoughts" (the original) much better. Reading this book reminded me of when I was a child and rode the bus down to the zoo every Saturday morning. I sit for endless hours on that bench, watching the animals play in the trees. Boy, those chipmunks were funny.
Rating:  Summary: a masterpiece Review: it doesn't matter how many times i have read this book, every time i open it up i laugh out loud. any person who comes to my house and opens it laughs out loud. it's probably one of my top 5 books of all time and i'm an english major.
Rating:  Summary: As the title suggests, this is the "leftovers"... Review: Jack Handey got a lot of mileage out of his "Deep Thoughts" series, but I think the word "rejected" would be more fitting than "lost" for this fourth volume. I don't want to suggest that it's bad by any means, but it's definitely the most hit-and-miss of the series. Some of the passages are classic Jack Handey ("Toward the end of the Stone Age, I bet there was already a feeling that metal was just around the corner."), but many of them are downright lame ("Life is a constant battle between the heart and the brain. But guess who wins. The skeleton."). If you've got the other three volumes, this one is absolutely essential, but if you're a newbie, don't start here. Pick up "Deep Thoughts", "Deeper Thoughts", and "Deepest Thoughts".

Rating:  Summary: Give us more, Jack! Review: Jack Handey's at it again with his characteristic blend of pseudo-feel-good musings. "The Lost Deep Thoughts" features enormously funny observations, remembrances, hypotheses, and situations in Handey's finest style. Handey returns to his more traditional style of humorous deep thoughts in this volume, featuring briefer musings than in his magnum opus, "Fuzzy Memories." From the dangers of King Kong (kids seeing that huge genitalia), to the king and queen who loved laughing (until they remembered they had the plague), to the problems of owning a robot (having to whip it to get it to fetch the paper in cold winters), this book's loaded with wonderful, side-splitting thoughts. Jack! Please write more!
