Review # 1 was written on 2008-01-01 00:00:00 Vincent Lapi There are a lot of gems in here. There are also not a few misfires, given that they're all selected by one man with a rather stereotypically British sense of humor. Sherrin includes too many quotations that aren't funny out of context (I can vouch that many of them are funny in context). But despite the many suggestions I have for improvements, I keep reading it (this is my third or fourth time), and I still like it. [This review applies to the original 1995 edition.:]

Review # 2 was written on 2009-12-25 00:00:00 Elishba Iturra The true joy of a book of quotations is that you get to read the best bits of generally the best books. Not only is this book filled with hilarious best bits, it also has sharp and witty comments for any occasion... if you can just recall them!
