Entertaining and weird

Wouldn't expect anything normal from Johnny Depp.

I don't remember why I got this book but I tend to read a lot of old, strange tales, and the price was right (free) so that is what probably attracted me to it in the first place. This book was comical and oddly strange, we follow a young man who works for the Bronx Zoo and is an ornithologist, he gets sent on exotic travels around the world by his job and has strange adventures in search of odd and extinct animals that are supposed to exist. He can never quite realize his goal, but always finds a pretty girl to admire even though he never gets her. Yes, the writing is a bit dated, but still entertaining. I also think it was one of the most unusual books I have ever read.

I don't know why I read this book but I'm glad that I did. I enjoyed it but I have to admit that I did find it very long winded in parts and I wanted it to end about 3/4 of the way though. That said, the story was entertaining with a few rather strange and unexpected scenes along the way. I don't know if I'd read another story in this series (I believe there are more) but I will definitely consider the authors' other books for future reading.

A little weird and different but I enjoyed it. This book is well written, has a world and mythology behind it that the author deliberately built and had some interesting twists that I wasn't expecting. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.

The movie is weird and there is a lot of sexual content in this film. The premise really is interesting though.

This story was crazy. It was well crafted and the characters are interesting. The premise is definitely interesting and different. And the end of the book definitely made me go hmmmm.

Like I said it was a bit of a crazy read with crazy characters and just strange stuff, but it was well written and is definitely worth a shot if you don't mind a little wtf in your day.

I received this book for free as part of the GoodReads First Reads Program.

Very different plot.  Slightly other worldly in some respects.  Enjoyed it but some parts were a little weird, but someone with a slightly offbeat slant  will find it entertaining.

I love this sort of thing anyway, but this was not quite what I expected. VERY bizarre--in a GOOD way. Will watch again and again.

The Harm in Asking is an odd, bizarre, and pretty funny book of anecdotes and stories about author Sara Barron's strange life. I'm a big fan of memoirs and quirky people, so this book fit the bill quite nicely! I'm a bit quirky myself and could find myself relating to her in strange ways.

The stories range from her childhood up to the present, and cover a huge variety of topics, some funnier than others. The topics include things like roommates, dating, college, and work, amongst many other things. I definitely found some funny moments that caught me chuckling or smiling. I also found some moments where I was kind of saying "wtf?!" Some of her stories are just downright bizarre, I have to admit, and not quite as funny. I didn't find anything in here to be laugh-out-loud funny, but as I said, I did find quite a bit of humor in reading this. I definitely liked her casual tone; it makes you feel like you're sitting and listening to an old friend.

All in all, I'd say this was an enjoyable read, but not a favorite nor one of the funniest books I've ever read. It was funny enough though, and I would definitely read her writing again.

This book is seriously quirky (or as serious as a quirky book can be). I enjoyed the humor and characters, even though some parts made me a little uncomfortable (theologically). Turn off the critic and just go along for a fun, fantastic ride. Not sure if I will read the rest of the books in the series, but this one was a fun diversion.

It starts off kinda weird, with a story that slightly relates to the main novels.  Besides that, these were very entertaining.  I wish the set included the final book.

I enjoyed this book. Of course, there is always the occaisional weirdo that adds "there is more but I will save that for another time" (ANOTHER TIME? I'M READING NOW!) and you want to slap that person silly. Other than those instances, this is a great book.

it's a weird story but an entertaining read. read it in a single setting while at the beach. lots of high-light worthy philosophical one-liners.

I picked this book up on a whim, then found myself entertained by the crude, but often funny, habits of the novel's main character, who all in all, was just as deranged under the pressure of flesh eating females, as the ghouls themselves. The fiction is odd, offbeat, and often graphic, but has an appeal and an excitement about it, like racing down a mountain road at a hundred miles an hour... you might crash and burn but its a hell of a ride.

This book isn't for everyone, although fans of The Walking Dead might find it an attractive fix during the off season. Entertainment that eats at your brains.

Was 1999 the year for weird movies, or what?  This movie was one of the most bizarre yet!  but that doesn't have to be such a bad thing.  While it was very bizarre, it held my interest, and was a very original story with  an amazing screenplay and the acting was pretty good too. Both Catherine  Keener and Cameron Diaz(who i hardly recognized!) were deservant of their  Oscar nominations.  The acting all around was excellent. This film was also  very funny, I laughed alot. There were a couple of parts, where the  laughter kind of died, but that's because i was kind of weirded out.  I  think Spike Jonze did a great job directing.  This movie is definetly not  for everybody.  If you want to see something different, very different --  watch BEING JOHN MALKOVICH.

Worth reading.  It was a strange book about a strange topic and some strange characters.
Fun and, at times, a tad disgusting, but in a interesting way.
