Rating:  Summary: Best Book Review: This is one of the greatest books ever! You can just pick up the book and flip to any page read something that takes a few seconds to read and you'll be amused for the whole day. The only downside is that you have to know history to get it, but I know alot of history and if I dont know something I ask my dad. Best book ever! If yuou need a constant cheer get it or if you want to see how idiotic college kids are get it. (...)
Rating:  Summary: It's one of those things you know.... Review: The more you know about world history and the larger your vocabulary, the funnier you're going to find this book. If you are just learning about events in history from reading this book, you'll find parts of it annoying, but if you know what the student is trying to write about, you'll get a real kick out of it. I got it for Christmas, had to wrestle it away from other people, and after it passed through three pairs of hands, finally managed to read it. I couldn't stop laughing.
Rating:  Summary: Very funny, but best taken in small doses Review: Over the past 10 years or so, I've been the recipient of several e-mails containing the history of America (or of the world) according to student term papers, they have invariably been quite funny, and this book, which is a much expanded collection of similar writings, is also very good.After reading about 10-20 pages at a sitting, though, I find I begin to get tired of the endless strings of mis-heard, mistyped, or just plain confused ramblings of people who actually managed to make it into college somehow (and worse yet, people who may already have gotten out of college). In small doses, though, this book really is quite hysterical. This one goes straight to the magazine basket in the bathroom, where it will be much appreciated.
Rating:  Summary: Side Splitting Fun Review: If you have even a modest knowledge of history, you're sure to love this book. I was literally in tears by the third page and was unable to read passages aloud to my wife because I was laughing so hard. In fact, I think this book is a self-contained party game -- pass it around and let people TRY to read out loud without bursting out laughing. If you believe laughter is the best medicine, then this book is the cheapest, most effective prescription you'll ever find.
Rating:  Summary: More Please! Review: I absolutely LOVE this book. I have not laughed outloud like this, reading any book, as I have reading this one. Everyone in the house is hooked, whenever I want to read it I just follow the sounds of laughter and I find it. The ineptitude and insanity of this collection is unbeleivable. I pray that Henriksson grants us with another volume soon!
Rating:  Summary: You'll laugh out loud, so make sure you read in private! Review: This book is a quick read, but is great for a big laugh! It's hard to believe some of the things these freshman write in their papers, and even worse the thought will cross your mind more than once that American education has gone down the toilet. But the humor... I bought this book to give to a high school senior about to go away to college. She's nervous about going to college, but I think this book will alleviate some of her fears (and prove to her that, yes, she will do fine in college if this is what she's up against). You will also be reminded of your time spent in college, and wonder if you ever made similar mistakes. My favorite was the religion called "Judyism" and the God called "Yahoo." Whoa. Anywise, a fine and quick read. And I promise you will laugh out loud every few pages.
Rating:  Summary: Very funny - and amazing since it's true... Review: Some of these are incredulous, but they are all bona fide test answers. Sounds like Norm Crosby had a gaggle of kids and sent them all to his guy's class. Makes me appreciate my own students!
Rating:  Summary: Brilliant Stupidity! Review: This book is one of the finest humour collections I have ever seen. Buy, or otherwise obtain it as soon as possible for laugh-out-loud fun. I would also like to take this moment to share a blunder from my grade 12 World Religions class: "All Muslims are required to make hash." Get it?
Rating:  Summary: Simple Book with Simple Fun Review: I bought the book as a cute gift for a gift exchange at work, but couldn't helping working my way through before the wrapping paper went on. It's a very simple and cute book outlining many of the common mistakes a college student will make when attempting to sham his way through a paper he obviously hasn't prepared for. My laughter slowly subsided by the time I'd finished the first half of the book as the same type of simple word replacements (spell check fixing the spelling to the wrong word) and free association of history occurred. It's a cute book for a quick read and great book to loan out to others or sit on a coffee table for the random guest to peruse through.
Rating:  Summary: I was literally crying with laughter! Review: It starts from page one. You will be unable to control your laughter. After a few pages it begins to hurt and tears are rolling down your cheeks. Don't read the whole thing in one sitting or you will probably lose control of your bodily functions and wind up in the hospital. I have NEVER in my life ever read anything this funny. Absolutely recommend this book with three thumbs up.
