Summary: A one-note joke that goes on too long
Review: Attempting to ride the coattails of the hilarious and brilliant Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbooks, this book should have been a magazine article at the very most. Buy it only if you want to kill ten minutes in the bathroom--otherwise, wait until it hits the remainder tables next year.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unpredictable and Unassuming
Review: Despite what other reviewers have said, this book made me laugh out loud... A LOT! It has step by step solutions for how to accept an Academy Award, be a British monarch, request your three wishes from a genie, what to do when you win the lottery, and more. Complete with sketches for how to properly wave like a British monarch, hold your Oscar, rub a magic lamp lap, etc.

Tougue in cheek and very witty. Think positive and be prepared! These things could happen... right?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Beware the Love Skills section!
Review: I bought some of thse to give as door prizes at a work function. When they arrived, I looked them over and found them unsiutable (in this day of harrassment awareness) to give out at the office. Not obscene, just a little too naughty for this family-run business.

Summary: Not as funny as I'd hoped
Review: I was disappointed with this book. It just didn't strike me as being that funny. The jokes are fairly predictable, and it doesn't hold as much appeal as the Worst-Case Scenario book. I had thought I'd enjoy it as I've always been a big fan of Tierney's columns in the New York Times, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hysterically funny
Review: One of the funniest books I've ever read...his sense of humor is incredible..the book is a quick easy read and completely enjoyable-a great stocking suffer and/or gift to give to your friends, definately keep it on your coffee table!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: NOT BY BUCKLEY
Review: The ads make you think its by Tierney and Buckley. But Buckley only wrote the intoduction. A satire on a satire almost never works. I guess SOUTHERN'S CANDY on VOLTAIRE'S CANDIDE is an exception. But Tierney ain't no Southern, in fact he is no Chris Buckley. Read Buckley's NO WAY TO TREAT A FIRST LADY or THANK YOU FOR SMOKING , but don't buy this boring, laughless book ,READ only the front cover which gives the best advice and is the only funny part.(You can click on the cover and enlarge it and read it on the internet.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very funny
Review: This book has some very funny moments, such as How to Accept the Nobel Peace Prize, What to Do if You Win the Lottery, and many others. My favorite one is about what to do if you're stranded on a desert island with Jennifer Lopez. These range from explaining that the reason you don't want to build a signal fire is it would damage the island's delicate ecology, to saying that you're basically a sensitive guy and it's okay with you to go slow with the relationship. There are many other scenarios in the book, and overall it's a lighthearted and funny piece of writing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ha Ha
Review: This book is kinda cheesy. It makes you think it is going to peak some time, and make you pee in your pants laughing. I kept waiting for it to capture me and turn into a page turner. It's okay but I think a 14-25 year old would be amused with it. Definetly not for scholar readers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT PARODY!
Review: This book is spectacular. The scenarios are far-out but holarious none the less. However, the only fault I found was the excessive reference to sexual themes. I didn't think that was necessary.
