— Laura, 2/1/2014" I had great expectations when I began reading this book. That might be why I didn't like it so much. However, it was very repetitive, and was full of profanity and inuendos...and worse. "
— Johnny, 1/27/2014" This book has the poteintal to be a very humourous book, but considering that the book was put in list form it makes it less of a book and more of a step by step kind of a story. The novel was humorous, because of its tamed crued humor. "
