Meh
12 Aug 2009
Format:Hardcover
The notes featured in the book are mostly funny, but other things detracted from the enjoyment. Some of the handwriting is hard to read. Occasionally there are minor obstructive differences between British and American English. But the thing that virtually suffocates the book's humor is the author's commentary which appears beside each note (doubling the pages). They have all the effect of dissecting a good joke to find out why it's funny -- when done, nothing funny remains. They are as fun as getting drunk with a grammarian.
This would be a good gift for former roommates or those currently suffering by such hands. If you want a rich compilation of notes and the like that demonstrate the comedy and tragedy of our discarded thoughts, try Davy Rothbart's Found series. For something specific to roommates, try College Humor's "Roommate Confessions."

Disappointing

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I received an email about this book, I thought "how could this be anything but entertaining?" Well, it's not - yet. The notes themselves are mildly amusing, but the comments the author has attached to each take away from them, they do not add to them at all.
Don't waste your money.

I laughed so hard that milk came out of my nostrils...

Have you ever had a roommate? Did you hate them? Were they annoying? Don't feel so bad. It can always be worse. This book is proof.
It contains reproductions of real notes written by real roommates. Or, at least that is what we are led to believe. They seem real. Some of them are very funny. Others are troubling. It's a fun read. Laugh. Or cry.
