Summary: Save yourself some dough: Go to the website.
Comment: As an avid reader of The Onion, I found this book, a repackaging of old articles from the Onion, nothing special. A much larger, and much better, archive of old articles can be found by going to the website.
The only purpose of this book is to provide a quick follow-up on the heels of the highly successful "Our Dumb Century". However, where "Our Dumb Century" was tremendously thought out and very well executed satire, this slapdash affair of seemingly randomly chosen past articles is best left out of your bookcase. I was lured in by the possibilities of a new book by The Onion. You, however, need not make the same mistake. When satirists become the very same money-hungry media moguls they were put on earth to poke fun at, you can be pretty sure their humor is going to come out pretty stale.
This book is good for anybody who does not have access to a computer but enjoys ripping satire. I have no idea who those people would be but, if you are reading this, you are obviously not one of them. I recommend going to a bookstore, picking it off the shelf and paging through it. It won't take long to read the articles you enjoy. However, the chapter introductions by T. Herman Zweiber aside, you've read it all before.

Summary: Funny as a Midget! :)
Comment: What can I say -- this books takes irony to a whole new level. I found the last Onion book (Our Dumb Century) to be one of the funniest things that I had ever read -- and this one blew it away! I read it cover to cover in one day, and yet again two days later. I couldn't help myself, I just had to read this book -- and share it with everyone that I know. Certainly makes you a very popular person during a boring part of the work/school day. I recommend this to anyone who can appreciate something for its humor, without getting offended by taking it literally. I found it hilarious, my classmates, my family, my coworkers, and even my AP English and Ap US History Teachers found it hilarious. You will too... Enjoy!

Summary: This onion will leave you crying...from laughter!
Comment: This is yet another great example of brilliant and witty writing on the part of the Onion's writers. From GM introducing "new, instant-win airbags" to Saddam Hussein stepping down because of a sex scandal and a local child destroying an ant colony, the writing is better than ever. The writers' ribald and vulgar sense of humor is sharper than ever, too, as Monica Lewinsky gets subpoenaed to "re-blow Clinton on Senate floor." It's tough to pick a favorite Onion book, but this one is right up there. Even the offensive ones are somehow funny. Get it, read it, and laugh again and again. Makes a great coffee table book.
