" Funny. Quick read and well worth it if you like satire. "
— M., 8/22/2010 -
" I don't know if Jesse Ventura ever got a hold of this one, but I'd like to let him personally know that I don't think this reflects him as much as it does the creative genious of Keillor. "
— Keith, 8/20/2010 -
" The book was funny at turns, but I think I'd rather listen to Mr. Keillor on the radio. "
— J, 2/25/2009 -
" Keillor's satire about Jesse Ventura was fun, if dated. Might be more satisfying for a Minnesotan, but I enjoyed nonetheless. "
— Andrew, 4/25/2008 -
" Kept me amused one afternoon in college. I appreciated it more for having spent time in Minnesota hearing a lot about Jesse Ventura on the news. "
— Rebecca, 3/21/2008 -
" It's not Garrison Keillor's best work, but it's fearless in attacking Jesse Ventura. And it's funny! "
— Mary, 8/21/2007 -
" This book was funny, but not THAT funny. "
