Review # 1 was written on 2010-04-11 00:00:00 Alexander Marchak Rarely does a book enter my house and then disappears from my desk so quickly that I don't get to read it first. That is what happened when I got Little Billy's Letters. First my husband grabbed it and then my son got to it. I finally had to steal it back. So here it is: a book that is suitable for the whole family. Well, only if you live in the Manson family or one like mine. You need to buy a copy for each member of family though so there is no fighting over it. This book is pure creative genius! I don't think I have laughed so hard that I have had to put a book down and come back to it only to find something else just as funny. I think my favorite part were the letters from the serial killers. They are a little sad at the same time though. I highly recommend this book and it also makes a great gift. I am going to buy additional copies as gifts. Thanks Bill all of my holiday shopping is done!

Review # 2 was written on 2010-12-16 00:00:00 Robert Sullivan "Billy" is the disguise Geerhart uses to ask favors and seemingly childlike and naive (but often insensitive and mean-spirited) questions of unsuspecting famous people ranging from political leaders to convicted serial killers. The author relies on the honesty and vulnerability of the people he targets for his "humor." He's lying, and then laughing at people and publishing their responses when they believe his lies. This is similar to "Borat" except Billy is out-and-out deceiving his victims and often using sensitive elements of these well-known people's histories to hurt them. What Geerhart calls funny, I call cruel.
