Review # 1 was written on 2008-06-07 00:00:00 Kenneth Porath Way, way back, even before there was a Spy magazine, fresh-out-of-college Kurt Anderson wrote this hugely enjoyable book in which he took a look -- sometimes seriously, sometimes hilariously -- at the quintessential things of their type. Hard to find, but a real riot of a read.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-06-03 00:00:00 Susan Keller This book is very funny. I'm in my mid 40s and could relate to almost everything the author references. I did keep a dictionary w/me at all times while reading it, though. Which ended up being part of the entertainment of it all. I can't believe Andersen was only 23 when he wrote this. SPY magazine was a scream and so is this little book.
