Summary: Guilty pleasures
Comment: If you're weary of the ceaseless barrage of insipid self-help texts, "Dr. Verne's Northern White Trash Etiquette" may be your antidote. This is a dangerously funny self-help parody filled with guilty pleasures. It's not an easy book to describe, since Dr. Verne -- once described as the "anti-Dr. Laura" -- is intent upon a multi-pronged attack of the funny bone. It's at once a satire, an Archie Bunkeresque comedy and a romping probe of the rarely explored northern branch of the white trash species. And while it's decidedly anti-P.C., it doesn't have a nasty, Rush Limbaugh sentiment. Edstrom also uses his ample wit to make the narrator a self-parody. "Dr. Verne's Northern White Trash Etiquette" is essentially a series of short essays and stories spliced with Q&A advice from his newspaper column. Chapter titles range from "Earn Jack & Score Chicks Through the Lost Art of Kidnapping" to "10 Tips for Women Who's Ascared of Getting Stuck with a Loser." If there's a minor criticism, it's that the humor occasionally gets a tad too low-brow, as one might expect from this topic. Yet this does little to detract from a smart, laugh-out-loud style. This is arguably one of the funniest books of the year.

Summary: If You're After a Good Laugh, Look no Farther!
Comment: My first confession is that I don't read a ton of humor-related books. My second, however, is that I love Dr. Verne's Northern White Trash Etiquette. I picked up a copy after a friend highly recommended it. It took me a page or two to get used to the writing style, but the book quickly swept me up with its clever and original humor. It had me laughing for several days! The author has an amazing ability to render any kind of situation humorous. He (or she?) makes a mockery of all the self-help books by using a similar formula to give guidance to "white trash." Note: This is a wide group, ranging inept burglars to Spandex-hating, husband-beating women. Don't take the book seriously as it's not meant to be a commentary on society or anything similar. It's simply a funny, funny read. I can't relate it to anything else because it's so fresh and imaginative. But I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone who enjoys a good laugh. It's truly a fun read, one not to be missed.

Summary: A lot of Truth
Comment: This book is irreverently funny, particularly the part about treating your mother and father with respect if you ever expect to inherit the family's F-150 pickup. Hey, I own an F-150. My son laughed like crazy about that one. If you are looking for some fun, reading this book is a good choice; however, if you have trouble with sexual innuendos (spelling?)or a little foul language here and there, you may want to skip it.
