Other people's lists get boring after the first two pages. April 27, 2000
35 out of 35 found this review helpful
Here's what I think happened: a publisher, noticing that P.J.O'Rourke's books usually sell very well, went looking for anything else that P.J. had signed his name to. This book apparently began as an article in the 'American Spectator', and grew into a book when readers started contributing their own material. It is nothing more than a list of people who annoy readers of the 'American Spectator', and none of them appear to be as bright or witty as P.J.It is unbelievably tedious, and so full of self-references that it is completely opaque to anyone other than an American. P.J. O'Rourke is a talented, gifted writer who has a knack of expounding fairly clever ideas in a very funny way. He can point out the emperor's nakedness with little more than a curl of his lip, although he usually takes a chapter or so to do the job properly. This isn't a P.J. O'Rourke book except insofar as it has his name on the cover. It is an 'American Spectator' book. I should have read the back cover more carefully. I'm sending my copy back.
