Summary: Bravo!
Comment: As an avid fan of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, I was thrilled to find Dikkers had written a book critiquing the feel-good self-help books that are so popular nowadays. However, once you get the "Paradigm" of "You are Worthless" (it's a "self-help" book that makes you "help-yourself!"), your spellboud throughout the book's 230 pages. Dikkers deftly writes page after page of constructive "advice" like "You are a toaster," "God made a great big world," and "Think about the sweet release of orgasm," and it never ceases to be illuminating. After about five such homilies you get exhausted. Frankly, a work of this sort of "Life's Little Instruction Book"-esque, bite-sized "wisdom" just seems entirely too perfect! Cleverly mean-spirited as Dikkers's mind is it's well within his abilities to do a brilliant anthology of, say, the "Jeffersons" series, or the "Gita" books in addition to this "One-To-Grow-On. Peace.

Summary: From a 13 year olds point of view
Comment: I thought that this book was the funniest book that anyone could ever read that wasn't going psycho. When I first picked up this book I had no idea what it was. I mean, what are you supposed to think when you see a book titled You Are Worthless? Anyway, I started reading a couple pages and I could not stop laughing out loud. This brings out a lot of details that are very, very true about a lot of people. I must have read the entire thing in about thirty minutes to an hour. I couldn't put it down. I always wanted to know what Oswald T. Pratt was going to say next. The stories he told and the things that he said made me want to make the book even longer with more topics. He talked just about everything: your life, your self-esteem, your friends, love, jobs, God, religion, and even more. I would definitely recommend this book to teenagers. They would be the ones who would laugh the most about what Pratt talks about. Adults, if you have a really great sense of humor and you aren't seeing a psychologist, then this is the book for you.

Summary: Very funny book
Comment: This kind of humor isn't for everyone, but I do recommend this book for anyone with a sense of humor that's a little off-center. My 15-year-old son and I both laughed ourselves silly at various parts of the book.
