Summary: Don't waste your time
Review: I thought I was doing the nice folks a favor when I tied my dog Snuckles to the fire hydrant while I went into the 7-ll for a slushy and a ding-dong. However to my horror, when I came out of the store I found an alligator swallowing my dog. He then got his head and teeth stuck around the leash. Before I could do anything a police officer came up to me and asked if that was my alligator tied to the fire hydrant. I told him that I had never seen that alligator before in my life. He then asked me if that was my leash and I told him it was. Unfortunately, just then a fire broke out across the street and the fire trucks soon arrived. However, the fireman couldn't get to the fire hydrant as a vicious alligator was guarding it. The whole building burnt down and I was arrested and charged for tying an alligator to a fire hydrant and blocking a fire hydrant that was needed during a fire resulting in thousands of dollars of damage. While I was in court, even though I had argued that the alligator was not mine, it was proved by the prosecutors that it was mine since I had confessed to having my leash on it. In the end I was fined $500 dollars and sentenced to 100 hours of community service and forced to read this book. Without a doubt, had I read this book before, I would not have had to read it now in humiliation after failing to take Jeff's advice. Had I known I could have lied about the leash being mine. Good advice Jeff but a little too late for me! By the way, the alligator and I are now doing fine and I've adopted him as a pet. Poor Snuckles.

Summary: Amazing
Review: I would not only recommend that these two young men write another equally witty book, but I would love some pointers on how to become so famous at such a young age! This is a great coffee table book for funlovers of all ages. I enjoyed the dry humor, as well as the topic (which, by the way, came from the authors' equally humorous and successful website dumblaws.com). Its not everyday that one sees such a fresh new idea...I mean how many Dilbert or Dr. Seuss cofffee table books can one have?

Review: Sorry guys, but this is the dumbest book I have read in a long time. I bought it thinking it would be good beach reading and, boy, was I wrong. Being eaten by seagulls would have been less painful than enduring this drivel. A little thought into this project would have proved helpful as many of the laws quoted were instituted for very good reasons such as the law regarding ice cubes in El Paso. Do you want to buy ice cubes that were produced across the border with their stellar health regulations. Most books of this type are quite entertaining, but not this one. It's just plain stupid.

Summary: lame
Review: this book was written by two kids - TWO STUPID LAZY KIDS.
THis book could have been a lame maxim article - i read the whole thing in 2 bathroom sittings and was not amused for even one second. the laws are not stupid. the kids are stupid. the book should have had 10,000 bad laws for the price. and should have been researched by some one with half a brain and a sense of ethics.
dont waste your money.

Summary: Only Amusing
Review: This collection of dumb laws does provide entertainment. Each page is one dumb law, followed by an explanation of it, and the majority of them are funny. However, there are only 101 laws in this book, and in total it takes about 10 minutes to read. Also, it isn't funny enough to the point where you can keep rereading it. The question, then, is whether the book is worth buying. Unless you plan on putting it on your coffee table for party amusement, it really doesn't provide the amount of humor you pay for.

Summary: A Good Idea That Needs More Work
Review: This is a book by two kids. It started off as a school project. The idea is to list laws that seem very strange, dumb or just plain off-the-wall. It could have been a good book but it needs a little more research. Each page has a catchy phrase about some law. The title of the book is one such phrase. There is then some of the text of the law it refers to. Unfortunately, sometimes the blurb is actually the direct opposite of the law given. I found this to be really unforgivable in such a book. Very often I got the idea that the authors just didn't understand the language used in the laws and sometime I felt they never read them in the first place. Still, there are some dumb laws that they did get right. But really, there should have been a lot more attention paid before this ever saw print.
