Jon Chattman and Rich Tarantino have written an homage to one of man's best accessories - the moustache -
Brett Underhill has illustrated this very funny little book to perfection.
These folks write about men of varied degrees of moustaches - from Charlie Chaplin to Weird Al Yankovic - they rank people in like industries as far as who has the best moustaches, and I must say, I didn't realize there were so many prominent guys (and one female artist) with distinctive moustaches -
I have always been partial to a man with a moustache, and when my all time favorites - Sam Elliott and Tom Selleck were featured, ok - I knew these guys knew their stuff -
It is a really clever look at moustaches and lists famous folks who sport them - worth a look!

It is so sad that this book is out of print!! It is hilarious - and while it was aimed towards the Yuppies of the early 90's, it is all too relevant again, in this age of Bugaboo driving, Cookie-reading parents!!

This book wakes up every sleepless parent reading Goodnight Moon for the 1,000,000th time. You will get a kick out of it, and your kids won't know the difference (they can actually relate since it is all about their yuppie existance!)

How did this one escape my notice when it was in print? Why is it out of print? One of the funniest parodies, (and not at all unkind), i've encountered. Especially perfect for those of us just coming out of endless recitations of the original Goodnight Moon (which is marvelous but does tend to leave a large dent in one's brain the eleventy-millionth time you read it aloud). Delightful read, superbly crafted parody.

I love Bradley Trevor Greive books. This one is no exception. I bought it for my husband to encourage him on his path to be more healthy. I had to preview it of course. There were sensible suggestions and wonderful pictures. This book and all of his others are great. I would definately recommend them.

A book that is just as funny for adults as it is for teens. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and could see where teens would cringe when well-meaning adults acted in what they thought were "cool" and "hip" ways. I've done it myself many times! A great, breezy read.

First of all, the book is funny as hell. It's just like a good matzoh ball: just heavy enough. But more to the point, you can really get some ideas here! After putting some of Mr. Shapiro's principles into practice, I saved over $4000.00 on my David's Bar Mitzvah.

Try it. You'll like it.

This book is hilarious! Mr. Shapiro really does reflect what every parent goes through when preparing for the big event. It really makes you think "Why not?"

Helpful Votes: 1 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 1999-04-07
Shapiro does a marvelous send-up of every aspect of the American penchant for overdoing Bar Mitzvahs (as well as every other coming-of-age) celebration. He harpoons (and lampoons) the "My event can be better than your event" materialism and mentality which all too often masks the true meaning of the event. The cartoons match the over-the-top, rapid-fire humor of what seems the perfect monologue for a borscht belt comedian. This one moves even more quickly than the 100 pages leads you to believe. You'll be done with it in less than a couple of hours - that is, if you don't stop to chuckle or laugh out loud like I did throughout this book. A perfect gift for the parents about to "celebrate" or "suffer through it."

Wodehouse at his best

Review Date: 2007-11-20
What fun! Humorist Wodehouse was near, perhaps at his best when he wrote ARCHIE. The humor is gentle and old fashioned by modern lights, but loses nothing in the telling, as Wodehouse spins his fiction and observes the social landscape of this, his adopted country.

Hotel de Wodehouse
Helpful Votes: 2 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 2005-02-09
In addition to an avid enjoyment of the Drones, Jeeves, golf, and Mulliner tales, I find I am developing a marked taste for Wodehouse's light novels. Everything he touches, it seems, turns to laughter. Other places the commedia del arte takes place in motion picture studios, on cruise ships, at resorts on the French Riviera, but here the venue is the Hotel Cosmopolis, drawn, no doubt, from his observations of New York nightlife. And here's Archie, a good-hearted, bumbling Brit out to seek his fortune in the colonies. And of course he met a girl while vacationing. And of course she's a millionaire's daughter. And of course said millionaire is proprietor of said hotel. Does it sound like a formula? Right ho! a formula for fun. Richard Usborne says this book is a lot of stiched together stories. But so what? Ukridge is a lot of not stiched together stories. This book introduces one of Wodehouse's best heroines, Lucille, as the power behind the throne of the Lucy/Archie axis, together pitted against her anti-Archie father. How can you not order it?

A Must-Read!

Poor Archie! Trying to win his stern old father-in-law over, only to land himself in deeper trouble! Getting locked out of his artist friend's apartment in a scarlet bathrobe, and many more such money-making schemes gone haywire, including those to get his f-in-law's approval. The portrait gone awry, and the shoes left outside the door.... Oh no! I'm not going to tell you anymore, you just must read this, and you'll find yourself laughing uncontrollably wondering how you ever thought the world was a drab place! With Wodehouse, there is always laughter in the world!
