Inside the Helmet: My Life as a Sunday Afternoon Warrior 8 reviews Michael Strahan, Jay Glazer
Gotham, 2007
I would never want to be a football player
+ Superman Strahan. + Well done, Michael Strahan!
This book is for those football fans, especially Giants fans, that want to read what a star football player thinks and what he goes through. It's not a book that you should expect to break any new ground in inside sports writing (like Jim Bouton's Ball Four), or have tremendous insights that ...

Three Rivers Press, 2008
A real Trip (No pun intended!)
+ Oh My!! + Dream job? Not so much.
I couldn't put this book down! It was funny in a sad kind of way, like when you were a kid and laughed when someone fell off a bicycle. We laugh at others' misadventures and troubles because we are uncomfortable and don't quite know how to react. The Lonely Planet should get much lonelier as ...

Harper Perennial, 2007
LOVED it...
+ a funny book that takes a big risk + Characters Who Misbehave
How many different ways are there to say that you completely and utterly adored a book? I sat down last night to start this book, and didn't get up until I finished it. I connected with the main character from the first page, and can honestly say that he's one of the most pessimistic yet ...

Kung Fu High School 11 reviews Ryan Gattis
Harvest Books, 2005
Kung Fu

This was an amazing book but it's not written for everyone. If your only experience with violence has been through the television- you may not get this book. But if you have a personal history with violence the details used to explain everything from the taste of blood, the sound of broken bone ...

Brocabulary: The New Man-i-festo of Dude Talk 49 reviews Daniel Maurer
Collins Living, 2008
Hilarious--If you have a sense of humor
+ it ain't no Hipster Handbook + More puns-per-square-inch than anything I've ever read
Brocabulary is a hilarious piece of satire and readers should go into it expecting to laugh, to be a bit grossed out, and to be entertained. For those who think that the book's offensive, I'm a girl and I liked it. So much so that I just bought another copy to give as a gift to my brother. (Isn't ...
