Summary: Hilarious
Comment: What I love best about this book, and The Onion in general, is how deftly the same gimmick can be recycled over and over again without losing any of its hilarity or considerable charm. The first time I read The Onion, I soaked a $90 pair of Kenneth Cole trousers in a flood of urine. The second time I dared to read this masterly publication, my bowels errupted with Vesuvian force, and from that moment I was a fan. My hope, my dream, really, is that this book spawns a sequel; I would love to see another volume of the News Archives. I am a bit of a clothes horse, and The Onion helps reduce this burden.

Summary: Book Gets 5 Stars From Reviewer
Comment: In a time when picking up a newspaper will present you with just about any horror story imaginable (terrorists, nuclear war, snipers, child abductors), nothing is as much of an antidote as The Onion. I have been following this mock-newspaper ever since Dispatches From The Tenth Circle, and I have never once been disappointed. This volume begins a new series that chronicles all of The Onion's stories in the past year. Open it up to ANY page, and you are guarenteed at least one laugh, if not multiple fits of laughter. Articles range from ground-breaking front-page news ("No Jennifer Lopez News Today"), to Opinion pieces ("I Bet I Wouldn't Be Laughing So Hard If It Was Me In That Fire"), to advice columns ("Ask A Man Getting Yelled At By His Wife Over The Phone At Work"), plus horoscopes, infographs, and tips for everything from pet care to toy safety. It's everything you have ever wanted in a newspaper, but could never get because, let's face it, the news is getting worse all of the time. And included in this volume is the amazing coverage of post 9/11 (with articles such as "Hijackers Surprised To Find Selves In Hell"). While we almost feel as though we should be offended by them making light of such a tragedy, The Onion does it in such a way that it actually makes us feel better. It's always nice when something puts a smile on your face, and that's exactly what this book does. Most of the time you don't even have to read the articles - sometimes just reading the headlines is humor enough. If you have not yet read anything from The Onion, I am urging you to do so, because you will not be disappointed. However, I will say that The Onion's humor is NOT for everyone, and anyone who is easily offended will probably find this book to be despicable. But for everybody else, it's just a great pick-me-up.

Summary: Memorable Articles and Many Laughs
Comment: My friend bought this book last year and we became obsessed. We still quote from it on a daily basis. "You hurt me just now when you hit me with that shovel" and "I bet I wouldn't be laughing so hard if it was me in that fire" top our list, as well as "Your honking has shown me the error of my ways." Our amusement never fades and it is as funny the millionth time as it was the first. Even real newspapers remind us of the Onion, with headlines like "Pretty China Tea Set Just a Fake." The Onion really does hit the nail on the head. Some articles are slightly disturbing, but in a funny, if offensive, way. There are some incredibly blasphemous articles, but if you can take a joke you will be fine.+++
