Relax and laugh with The Truth About Leo!

I loved this book.  Was it corny at times?  Absolutely!  But, that is one of the reasons I enjoyed it.  The Truth about Leo is not meant to be serious.  It is for those of us who have so many other serious situations in our lives that we want light-heartedness and humor to lighten our lives through our reading material.

Dagmar is a heroine who makes her own way and doesn't let anyone, including her cousin the Crowned Prince of Denmark, tell her what to do.  She finds herself in difficult circumstances not of her own making, but does not let it drag her down -- she take chances and loves life.

Leo just seems to be waiting to see what unfolds.  He is the perfect hero to her heroine.  Surprisingly and unknown to him, Leo wakes up married.  He seems to just go along with it.  And, falls in love with Dagmar in the process.  I loved his kindness to her even as she kept making things worse.

There are some surprises and twists in the story.  The humor and odd situations keep you intrigued, laughing and not want to put "Leo" down.  Just enjoy it for what it is meant to be.

I will say that I had been looking forward to a book on Nick and Thom.  That was the only "downer" in the book for me.  He and Thom could have had their own book.

Again, enjoy this light-hearted, humorous story about Leo and Dagmar!

Dilbert is so funny because it comes so close to the truth! (Sarcasm intended, but only slightly!!!) This is a must read.

I am about half-way through and have laughed out loud so many times thus far! I am loving this book and it makes me feel good to know that Al is in the Senate being the voice of reason and compassion tinged with humor during these crazy times. I am a big fan of Al and have all his other books, also laugh-out-loudable. I also enjoy the insights he gives into the nuts and bolts of being a senator and getting bills written and passed. I bought the book and the audiobook as well. Highly recommended!

Great read! I loved this book, it was smart, funny, thoughtful and validating. It is a relief to read a truly funny book about coping with the stresses of life. No quick fixes here, and that is why I find it validating! With "the secret" out there trying to tell us that by simply by doing an affirmation or two, we will get every "thing" we want immediately, and drug companies trying to convince us that all you need is do is take a pill, this is a book that shows that true growth and self awareness takes time and effort. Honestly I think our present culture needs to hear this message more! But, most important with Brian Frazer's irreverent wit, he is an amazing role model, showing us that figuring it all out can be a fun adventure if you choose it to be.  Again, I just LOVED this book!

"My not so Perfect Life" speaks soooo very loudly, tongue in cheek, to our addiction to social media, our posting of a fictional life (or at least super-highly edited life!)  We have Kat/Katie our heroine, who is trying to make her way in the wilds of London's media-savvy marketing world, with lots of pit-falls and prat-falls, meanwhile posting rosy images to social media to convince her family (herself?) of success.  We have the boss and co-workers from hell.  And we have the father/partner ready for their next hare-brained scheme.  And, above all, we have Sophie Kinsella, a master of comedy and love mixing and matching the characters and situations.  Read this book.  It is sooooo very worth it!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the loan of a time-constrained copy of this book.

We have all heard the saying that "Laughter is the best medicine." and when reading Wrinkles, Waistlines, and WetPants you will get a large dose of laughter medicine!  Be assured you will be laughing aloud because the author has succeeded in writing hilarious anecdotes accompanied by illustrations that add to its humor.  I found the titles of the chapters so intriguing wondering where the author would take us next that I could not seem to put this book down.  You won't be needing your bookmark for this amusing and entertaining book because you will just want to keep reading and laughing.  And, don't forget to take the three useless surveys!  In our world today there is so much that is serious, somber, and even tragic that getting the opportunity to read this book written by a witty author will be a fun change of pace for the reading world.

This is a collection of true events which helped one man face his faux pas.  Let's face it, not every man is willing to share these accounts with the public.  Of the 16 hilarious events (some not so funny, such as biting his tongue nearly in half), I liked the story of the ice baths and how it almost led to his total meltdown; the marriage proposal caper; the third hour when Hurricane Clyde strikes; the exploding luggage nightmare at the airport; and the surfing event in California which makes me wonder if his nipples ever grew back!!  Sorry, Matt, I roared with laughter as it reminded me of when my husband was floating in our harbor years back and a bluegill decided to nibble on HIS nipple ... it hurt for a month! Oh, and the worst laid plans for Valentine's week which winds up killing the wife's cat!  Okay, I've revealed enough, so you'll just have to read the remainder of the stories that are so funny that I was loudly laughing out loud.  We all have funny events in our lives, we just don't want to share! LOL  Matthew Weinrich just happens to be a real man ... a brave tell-all guy!  His tales are well written, compelling, and hilarious.  Highly recommend these stories to lift the spirits!

Kelly Oxford delivers us a amusing grip on life, hilarious, insightful, and sometimes soul wrenching in its humorous outlook on life. Everything Is Perfect When Your A Liar is wonderful. Each essay in the book is a examination of situations we cover up in life to look good for family, friends, and in general whoever may be looking at us thru the looking glass. You'll enjoy this and want to share it with your friends.

Up late?  Mesmerized by the electronic promises of another 900 number?  Wondering just what the Age of Aquarius holds for you -- or what the heck the Age of Aquarius is?  Mute that television, and pick up this book  instead of the phone.  Frederick Woodruff is a mystical pragmatist --  someone who really seems to understand that we are sophisticated yet silly  -- just like our Creator!  In this true gem of a paperback, Woodruff  recounts his experiences on the psychic lines with the warmth of Mark Twain  and the humour of John Cleese as Screwtape!  What is most unexpected in  this book are the philosphical musings and insights the author shares with  us.  If any of you have read Sybil Leek or Aleister Crowley, Carlos  Casteneda or Carl Jung;  Frederick Woodruff rests somewhere in a very  comfortable middle quoting any of the aforementioned very eloquently along  with Dorothy Parker, John Steinbeck, and Oscar Wilde. I recommend this book  for anyone interested in what is truly needed for successful divination or  knowing what desires lurk in the hearts of American's with a touch-tone  phone. Also included is an excellent recommended reading list and tips for  calling psychics yourself. Just read it -- if for nothing more than the  hilarious chapter titles!

Okay, so I have a Blackberry 9700 and I have the Kindle application on my phone. I was browsing through the library and found this book. It sounded remarkably like the guy I followed on Twitter so I decided to read the excerpt and realized it was! So I purchased the book and have been reading it in my downtime at work and I have to say that I have been laughing all day! I could not believe that someone's dad was this vulgar but at the same time at least you always knew what he was talking about and did not try to push things under the carpet like a lot of sensitive people tend to do these days. I am enjoying every moment and cannot wait to get home and order a pizza and finish this book.

For the people who are complaining that the book was too vulgar, I refer you to the title. If you have profanity in the title, what made you think it was going to be innocent like "A River Runs through It"? In this day and age it seems that everyone is so uptight. You can't say this; you can't say that, etc. It's nice to see someone who was not afraid of his own shadow in his own house and who was not afraid to stick up for his son's when needed-be. My mother was not as frank as he was but she certainly has had her time or two down at the schools defending me and my siblings. I say that times, work, economy is so hard on everyone right now. Sometimes you need to just sit back and ask yourself "what did he just say??" and have a good long laugh instead of bringing more unhappiness in your life by over-analyzing and complaining all the time. You have enough of that and I certainly do. We call this sort of humor close to what is termed "grave-yard humor", especially with the line about the dog. So stop complaining, sit back, grab a beer and some pizza, and laugh!

I know this is not supposed to be a literary genius book and I am good with that. Again, my life is stressful and I am tired and I just like the fact that I could just laugh because I have not genuinely done so in a very long time! Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did! 5 stars all the way!

While it made made laugh out loud about every third page, I think it a bit limiting to refer to this as a book of Comedy only. There is more truth in a lot of what Carlin says than possibly even he realizes, and certainly a  great deal more than any of our so-called leaders spout forth on a regular  basis. The negativity abounds, or at least what seems to be Negativity.  Carlin shows that what is often considered bad or unkind, is, simply put,  true. Unless you just can't stand swear words, read this book!

The first thing that I noticed upon beginning this book was that the author  Neale Donald Walsh asked the question "Ask youself why you picked up this book? Perhaps on an impulse?" That made me laugh, because the reason I bought the book was because the author emailed me and asked me to buy it! But seriously, when the book arrived, I did sit down and read it outloud (all in one day) to my husband and we thoroughly enjoyed it.  There is so much truth and humor in this book, that it was one of the best ways I could have spent my time. Being followers of Esther & Jerry Hicks-Abraham who the author gives wonderful credit too, we found this book taking us on an expanded view of becoming joyful and expanding that out into the world.  I have already recommended it to others and I intend to remember all the sound advice Neale Donald Walsh gives in this book - "Happier Than God."  I believe every world.  thanks so much. Catherine

I love Justin Halperns books, they always have me laughing out loud.  His father is a real character - would love to meet him.  But underneath it all, he gives very good, common sense advice.  This is a great book to read at night so you go to sleep in a happy, peaceful mood.  Can't wait to see what he comes up with next  If you are offended by cursing, though, take a pass, haha.  Otherwise full speed ahead and don't be eating or drinking anything while you are reading this laugh out loud hilarious book.

I really liked reading this book. I know he is vulgar and can be nasty, but why don't you give it a go by trying to imagine this as a fiction :D
I had a good laugh! His stories are hard to believe, but some of them are what most men would dream about once or twice :))
I really think this is a good entertainment :) enjoy it, ladies and gentlemen and whatnot!

What a relief it is to discover that one is not alone...
Ricky Gervais' observations on human behavior in a typical office are so true to life, so acutely and agonizingly and hilariously well-observed, so marvelously accurate.
This series is not just about its unique and innovative humor. It also provides reassurance for many of us that we are not the only ones who notice that humdrum office life is deeply comical... and deeply tragic at the same time.
A lot of people say that they "can't watch". This is because though they are drawn to the humor, they'd prefer not to be reminded of the truth revealed by the darker side of Gervais' acute observations.
Go easy on the reviewers who say they "Don't Get It"... At least ten percent of us must be Gareths or the equivalent. He'd never "Get It" either!

Leo is hilarious. Mustve been a great leader to work under. Years of experience and insight went into his account of his time on BFD.
