Serge Boucher | 1/18/2014
" How a crazy pinko communist became a crazy conservative libertarian and remained incredibly funny throughout. Love it. "
-




David | 1/10/2014
" A selection of his speeches/columns. Very good, though. "

" this is a collection of various articles, short stories and essays written by mr. o'rourke's throughout his career. he does an excellent job of tying his humor into various geopolitical events. "
-




Carl | 12/30/2013
" Not PJ's best book, but great essays from his past. It's funny to read through his essays and watch his transformation from a dirty unwashed hippy left winger into a clean cut yuppy right winger throughout the course of his years. "
-




Walt Murray | 12/25/2013
" O'Rourke is a very funny writer, and most of his books are worth reading. I enjoyed parts of this book, but it is not his best work "
-




Jason Farley | 12/23/2013
" Fun to read the transformation, though I almost didn't make through the early years. "
-




Andy | 12/11/2013

-




Maggie Wantstoplay | 12/11/2013
" there should be more stars available... "
-




Naomi | 12/1/2012
" It's amazing watching O'Rourke's transition from super leftwing hippie liberal to conservative republican through these essays. "
-




Valerie | 10/20/2012
" I haven't read any PJ O'Rourke in a long time. I wonder if he has anything new out. "
-




Kelly | 6/29/2012
" P.J. O'Rourke traces his path from liberal to libertarian by re-publishing short essays and articles from his college years on. It's great to watch his development as a writer and a commentator and it's great that he doesn't take himself too seriously. "
-




Charlotte | 4/25/2012
" I liked him better with the bad hair cut before he got too conservative to find anything nice to say. If you don't have anything nice to say...vote Republican, I guess. Still, the man can string some words together nicely. "
-




David Campton | 8/31/2011
" Comes from the other end of the spectrum from me politically, but he is always worth a read. this is not as focussed as his other works due to its origins, nor is it as funny, but it does offer some insights into why he thinks the way he does. "
-




Bob | 8/22/2011
" Parts of this are hilarious, and it gives you a lot of insight into him, if you're interested. "
-

-




Ryan Wulfsohn | 3/29/2011

-




Andrew | 1/25/2011
" If you don't like P.J. O'Rourke, I don't know if we can be friends. "
-




TheDenizen | 10/7/2010
" The stuff about cars and politics I could take or leave, but the essays about his lazy days as a hard drinking, dope smoking hippie are hysterical and worth the price of admission. "
-




Robert JA Basilio Jr. | 6/4/2010
" Included some early attempts of O'Rourke to write fiction. "
-




Terri | 5/20/2010
" If you're familiar with PJ, you'll like the diversity and uniqueness of his earlier work. If you're not, you'll enjoy one of his more recent works more. "
-




Larry | 5/10/2010
" This is one of my favorite books of all time. It's just a wonderful look into this very funny satirist's perspective of himself growing up. You see how he's lived as a lot of things, and how it's shaped him into who he is today.
Love this book. Can't say it enough.
