5.0 out of 5 stars A great follow on to Crap Towns!, 18 Nov 2005
By A. J. Block "Jon Block" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I very much enjoyed the first Crap Towns book, and so as this was by the same author I thought I'd give it a whirl...

Well it's great! Some of the entries our hilarious and some, as you would imagine, are bordering on disturbing. My favourite has got to be the Cargo Cults and the great Christian god "Anus" - I couldn't have put it better myself!

5.0 out of 5 stars ecsectasy, 22 Nov 2005
Opened my eyes to the joys of everything from the Ranters to the Ticklers - surely where the future lies for us all..! No doubt will come in useful in stocking up on a universe of random trivia to bamboozle friends and foes alike. And the cartoons are a bonus too..

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating & bonkers, 19 Dec 2005
By A Customer
Witty, honest and incredibly useful, especially if you have ever considered joining a cult. Or not. I was glad to see my favourite sect, The Ranters, were in there. Can't wait to see what this author will come up with next.
