I'm 42 and I couldn't stop laughing myself

Absurdity at its best in children's literature. Ted can't find a firefighter, so he becomes one, with disastrous results that don't seem to faze Ted in the least. Pants on fire? Call the janitor! Call the librarian! Call somebody! Or just wait for Ted to save the day... kinda.  Completely hilarious.

(There are other Ted books, but in my opinion, the others are much more random with Ted's behavior and thus not as funny. In Artist Ted he torments an new kid at school throughout most of the book in an extremely disturbing way. I was really unsettled by any adult thinking this was funny, and Ted never apologizes or seems to realize he's done anything wrong.)

I am a 19 year old high school graduate. I was given a copy from my boss, a commercial realtor. I have to admit that when I read the cover, I laughed inside. I'm 19 like I care about money markets, stocks, bonds, IRA's, and 401k's. All this is like a foreign language to someone my age...and it is a language few can help us decipher. Peter Bielagus is one of those few translators. He does it in a poignant and humorous manner that made it hard for me to put down. I intend to make sure that everyone I know has a copy of this hilariously and helpful guide to finances. Peter finally proves that money can be fun. Go out and get yourself a copy today it's a must have for young adults and a should have for every other age group

As an adult, I kept saying "my turn!" and then laughing at the fart-like noise that followed. Good stuff.

Great gift for anyone on the cusp of the big 5-0.  I laughed out loud in public and people thought I was mental. His views of turning older are spot on. I am not quite there yet, but I am in the upper 40's and I have to admit that I have experienced some of the life altering experiences that make you wanna cry.  I am writing this with 175 strength reading glasses. Good bye 20-20 vision.

I literally laughed out loud the whole time I was reading this book.  I had to stop reading it around my family because I couldn't stop cracking up at whatever I was reading.  LOVE LOVE LOVE Tina Fey.  I can't wait to read Yes, Please next.

I don't even have kids and I'm a woman, but I laughed through the entire book! I've always loved Jim's sense of humor and have seen him perform  live several times. This book easily lives up to all my expectations. I really admire comedians who know how to make people laugh from their bellies without having to stoop to sexist, dirty, racist, religious or other jokes aimed at downgrading selected groups of people. I also appreciate that Jim truly loves being married and a father yet still can see the benefits of a child-free life and some of the "cult-like" or neurotic behaviors some parents can exhibit from time-to-time (including himself). This book was such a pleasure to read that I gave copies to friends and family members who also laughed their way through it. Enjoy this fun read!

Lovely surprise of an author and a hilarious book, I could not stop laughing out loud at the chapters that triggered my own fun memories.

This book is a hilarious - you'll find yourself laughing out loud and nodding in recognition if you are (just) over 40. While your logical mind knows you are (possibly) a mom and no longer "hot" by most definitions (hot soccer moms are like, 30), your brain hasn't adjusted to not being the cute eye-catching (brunette or blonde) of your previous days. So if you have any sense of humor at all, you'll find the author perfectly voices what many of us are going through!

The book is a bit longer than necessary, and some will find some sections a tad whiny but I enjoyed at least 80% of the book and found myself in almost the exact situation she describes, oh, 75% of the time! Perfect reading for a girls weekend.

I have never read a more laugh out loud book in my life.  I giggled and laughed page after page after page.  The edition I got was labeled as version 2.0 which made me laugh before I even opened the book.  I think it was 307 pages.  Bought it right here at Amazon.  I can honestly say there was not a dull moment in this book.  I am definatly going to get another one of Mr. Moore's books very soon.  I recommend this to anyone over 18.  Maybe 21.  He has a warning in the front that I loved.  Just go get it and enjoy.

I bought this as a gift for an 11 year old family member - neither of us could stop laughing!

I should have known better. Listening to this (audio)book at work wasn't a good idea. I couldn't control my laughter, and it's not just cute giggles either. It's like good make your sides ache belly laughing. My coworkers are backing away slowly, but just the same, I finished the book and remember thinking wow. I needed that. She's hilarious as always of course, but every now and then she throws an ice cold bucket of reality on you--reminding us all that mental illness is HARD. Still, this woman...god blessed us all with her, clearly. And (I know this is the POINT of it all) I had several moments when I just sat there thinking "me, too!"

The first time I saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I laughed so hard it hurt.  I then set out to buy it right away.  When I saw it in a boxed set I thought to myself, the other video has got to be at least slightly humorous.  I underestimated the comic genius of these six.  And Now For Something Completely Different provides for thousands of laughs every time I watch it.  I was very pleased with my purchase, and feel that I've gotten more laughs than I paid for.

I am getting the best belly laughs of my lifetime reading this book.  John Riha has immense talent for writing, both on a serious topic like his description of the near-fatal Mountain Lion attack on a California hiking couple.  But, oh, can he make me laugh.  What a joy I am having just experiencing being able to laugh out loud, and I mean LAUGH OUT LOUD.  Thank you, John, for your writing.
