Hiassen is a rare author who can weave a good story AND interject great humor.  This is a light, easy, fun read that had me laughing out loud. Every Christmas I gift my friends my favorite read of the year and this was my choice for 2005.

Laugh Out Loud Funny!  One of the most enjoyable and "so true" books that I've read in awhile.

I'm only one-third of the way through, and I've already laughed out loud several times!  Told from a different character's viewpoint, it's refreshing to see my favorite characters as others perceive them.  And the hijinks that these people get into!  Of course, I'd love to napalm-bomb Marie, but that's just because I don't like people who constantly operate without a filter.  Go read this book - you'll love it!

If you enjoy a good read and a laugh-out-loud experience, particularly at someone else's expense, you will love this book!  McClenagan has written true scenarios of his experiences with his dad while camping and fishing sans the amenities of first class accomodations.

These are stories with which anyone can identify, but especially if you've ever been camping in the great outdoors, and even if you have not.  Warren weaves a tale of hilarity from hooking up the pop-up camper for travel ("you might think of it as a tent with a chassis.") to parking same camper in a heavenly setting. ("when you have trouble deciding between parking spots at Wal-Mart this can be a daunting prospect.").

As Warren states in the book, "Campers are trying to escape months of pent up frustration by cramming more fun than is possible into a very small window of time."

From bears in the camp to "The Night Ginny Got the Clap" will entertain even the most serious reader!  Highly recommended and guaranteed to make you laugh!

David Sedaris takes the littlest things and turns them into full stories with wit, humor (albeit a little dark - OK a lot dark!), sadness, and sometimes head-shaking ridiculousness! He says what we are thinking but would never say - with simplicity and reckless abandon. His story about racing an unsuspecting woman in the pool was laugh-out-loud funny. Sitting, reading a book, laughing out loud - that just doesn't happen, but it does with this book. You won't be sorry!

I heard about this book some time ago and finally ordered it. Once I began reading it, I just couldn't put it down. It was laugh-out-loud funny. I so enjoyed acoompanying the author as she lived her fantasy life on a farm. Don't we all wish we could run way to another life? Her description of her experiences were hilarious. I have recommended this book to many of my friends and intend to give copies of it as gifts. I especially loved her reference to the poodle as a "standard dog, not one of those little yappy things." Very funny!

I read this book while on an overnight flight to Italy. I kept laughing so hard that I was shaking the seats of the people around me, who were trying to sleep!

I have not laughed so hard in a very, very long time. This book is utterly hilarious.  Chris's writing style is an incomparable vehicle for telling the story of his crazy--and sometimes nearly unbelievable--experiences while moving to France. He is quintessentially British, and the humor of his statements shows that. For instance, when describing his puppy, he says, "Which brings us to the dog, Gypsy, a four-month-old lurcher. For anyone unfamiliar with the breed, the lurcher is the one that fills the gap between the Irish Wolf Hound and the crocodile. She was immense. And her favourite game was dragging her favourite toy across the floor. Sad to say, her favourite toy was my leg. What can I say? I have highly desirable ankles."

And here's his description of the "creative" decorating he found while house-hunting in France:
"Then there was the toilet in the Dordogne.

Now, I've seen toilets before -- I'm a man of the world -- and under the stairs has always been a popular space-saving location but ... at the foot of the stairs? With no privacy? Placed such that to climb the stairs one had to squeeze past the bowl?

I stood at the foot of the stairs, staring in amazement, and wondered -- could the stairs have been a later addition? Maybe there was nowhere else to put the staircase when the upper floor was converted?
No. I looked; the plumbing appeared more recent than the staircase.
For days afterwards, I theorised and explored various possibilities for the unique placement of the toilet. It was like one of those mental agility tests starring dwarves in lifts. Could the owner have had one leg shorter than the other and needed the first step for balance?"

In addition to the foibles of moving, Chris and his wife, Shelagh, had to turn detective to find out who had stolen their identities and, in the process, all the money from the sale of their house in England.  The craziness that ensued makes for excellent storytelling, and Chris's writing skills make it even more exquisite.

This book will be enjoyable for anyone, but especially for: those who enjoy traveling, have ever had to move, have animals with personalities living in their homes, or ever wondered about weird choices a previous homeowner made.

This is a laugh-riot book!  And (unfortunately) a true one.  I ordered one for myself, and one for a friend.  When I received them and read through mine, I thought maybe my friend would find it a little "too raunchy" for her tastes; but not to worry!  She's dealing with a roomful of adult babies at her job 5 days a week, so she laughed her head off, as I did (and still am!).  I catch Doug Giles almost every week on a local radio show, and hearing his unvarnished and insightful comments helps remind me that we're not the ones who need help--and so we laugh, because WE'RE not the crybabies!
