I'm not sure this is one for me. I'm not big on political satire. Great review, though.

Thanks for the review.
A witty book designed to make you feel light. A guy who is crude and has no inhibitions whatsoever and thinks that he is the best. Definitely a great read.

Pomeroy sounds like an excellently realised character, and your review piqued my interest. Thank you!

This book is truly "off the wall" but fascinating because so brilliantly penned. Reading the story gives me a perspective on the world that I do not have but need to hear because it approaches a culture that is foreign to me. Well done!

Since I have no issues with a graphic, sexist humour-based plot, I'll have to check this one out when I'm looking for a laugh. Thanks for the review.

Neither the book title or the cover would normally inspire me to look at this book, but the content of this precise review has intrigued me. So consequently I will now dip into it at the very least, as I now have high hopes of an entertaining read!

James Hanna pens interesting comedic books. Glad you enjoyed this one. I will be giving this one a try after your great review.

This doesn't seem like something I would read considering the crude sense of humor. But this might appeal to others. Great review!

Thank you for this excellent review! You got it right, from what I read in the sample. It's not for everyone. Neither are some of Mark Twain's works. I am impressed that with all the slang it is very well edited.

What a delight! It looks like this book will bring me to places I've never been. I think Im going to like this book because, according to your review, it's engaging, quirky, crisp and witty writing style yet really inspirational.

Yes, I am seeing the appeal after reading a few chapters. I liked your review and your insight into the audience that would like this book. Maybe not for everyone, but for those who can put their judgmental selves in abeyance and see the humor of this guy, they will find a treat.
