Ya gotta have a sense of humor in this world... December 8, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
We need to laugh more than ever in these troubled times. This book provides more than a few chuckles while also offering practical advice about dealing with being unemployed. The question is, will an out of work person spend money on a book?br /br /The publisher may not like this idea, but I'm sure the writer won't mind (after all, it's about the art, not the money, eh?): if putting food on the table takes priority, borrow this tome from your local library. It's worth reading.br /br /In this age where people are losing their senses of subtlety and irony at an alarming rate, I would advise you that the author's tongue seems permanently in cheek for much of the book. Not that it doesn't have valid ideas throughout. It does, but is also intended to entertain. And it does that, too. br /br /The author's prose style is, shall we say, singular. He was obviously amusing himself during the creative process and hopes we are similarly amused. Either that or he is channeling an 18th century British fop and a 1950s Greenwich Village hep cat.br /br /Whatever his motive and whatever his mental state, you will laugh and you will learn. And that combo makes for a pleasant read.
