5.0 out of 5 stars Let's look again at the tired phrases!, 8 Dec 2007

By	Arctic Voice Earl - See all my reviews

First, let me commend the authors for compact book --about three by four inches ---helps conserve resources, and I find I'm able to carry it with me all around Arctic Alaska as I continue to explore (and take a fall now and then)
Within the compact pages, Thompson and French submit a "small, sane voice amid the roar of instant gratification, 24-hour television, media manipulation and marketing"
The cynical insights in the book can hopefully bring us down to earth in these times of star-struck reality shows and tv anchor airheads.
Some of their better jousts ---"Too many cooks spoil the TV schedule," "Why are there no new Chinese proverbs? and "Politics --ask no questions and hear no spins."
I'm looking forward to an even smaller sequel by these talented authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Book, 8 Nov 2007

By	Jane W (S Wales) - See all my reviews

This is a great "Little" book, although when I ordered it I wasn't expecting it to quite so "little"! However, the size does mean that you can stick it in your bag (or pocket) and have a quick read of a few pages whenever you're in need of some light relief.

The book is split into three sections: Aphorisms (had to look that one up!), Questions, Instructions and Precepts and Wisdom of Life. My favourite quote is "Do everything in moderation: that includes doing everything in moderation"

All in all, it gave me a good giggle and would make an original reasonably priced little gift or stocking filler for cynics and non-cynics alike.
