Product Reviews: Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid |
Rating: 1 (out of 5) Summary: Are you kidding me? Humor? NOT!! Comments: What??? (12 years in the Army would have me saying something else here, were it not a public forum...)
According to Mr. Leary, children with autism "are not autistic, just stupid. Or lazy. Or both." Excuse me?
Another mother put it best: "If Mr. Leary had ever been in the presence of an autistic child, he would CLEARLY see that it has nothing to do with laziness or stupidity. Often these children are smart and active. They just have no skills for channeling and focusing that intelligence or energy into so-called "normal" social behaviors. Trying to stir up controversy to sell a book is pretty sad. Why do not you just write a better book that people will actually want to read? Or are you too stupid and lazy for that?"
I concur. Denis Leary is not only NOT funny, he has no soul. With many other great books to purchase...why would anyone waste money on this trash!!?!!? |
Rating: 5 (out of 5) Summary: great read Comments: Written by DR.Denis Leary, this book delivers also. It's funny, sarcastic, clever, and brings back memories of one's own youth. Must be all Catholic families are the same no matter where you grow up!! Some truths never change. Keep up the great work, DR. Leary. |
Rating: 5 (out of 5) Summary: Book Purchase Comments: Book arrived quickly and just as described. Was a gift for my son and he LOVED it. |
Rating: 5 (out of 5) Summary: Hilarious!! Comments: Unfortunately, the people who SHOULD read this book will not, because they'd get "offended".
It is 100% truthful and hyserically told. I love it. |
Rating: 2 (out of 5) Summary: Only Moderately Entertaining Comments: I desperately wanted to enjoy this book, however after about 100 pages, I had to quit reading. Something I never do. If you are a fan of Dennis Leary, you will absolutely enjoy this read. His unique wit and sarcasm are what makes this book what it is. If you are easily offended (and I am not) you might want to look elsewhere. I will admit, that although I did not find much of the content humorous, Dr. Leary's points are fairly accurate!! A lot of the reason we as Americans "suck" as he puts it, are outlined clearly throughout the book.
Give it a shot if you are looking to be entertained, however do not expect much in my opinion. |
