Review # 1 was written on 2009-05-27 00:00:00 Sean Murphy Ok let's cut the shit. I don't like Chris Ayres and I don't like people like Chris Ayres -- and it sounds like L.A. is crawling with them. That said, Chris Ayres is one hell of a funny guy. Whining, self-deprecating, unabashedly materialistic, and hopeless with the women... I mean, the guy sells his furniture on craigs list as a ploy to get women to talk to him??? Would I take the guy's phone call? No fucking way. Did I think I'd finish a semi-autobiography by the guy? Not on your life. But I did... and parts of it (the middle of the book especially) I couldn't put down. Yeah, the last 20 or so pages are WAY too preachy for me (hence four stars), but nonetheless this is a genuinely funny read -- made all the more so because it's so fucking true.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-03-10 00:00:00 Derek Devers This is a must read book for everyone who is wondering what the hell happened to the economy in the past 2 years. As Pogo once said, "We have met the enemy and he is us". The recent crisis in Europe will make its way to China--this is a "Domino Theory" that is a real threat--and the people who are overusing and overbuying will have to get a clue.
