from Demco Media
Customer Review:
Vonnegut's novel takes the reader into the myriad faces of human emotions--from disenchantment to awe, skepticism to empathy, from horror and madness to succor and redemption. This dryly humorous and unforgivingly scathing story of the seemingly inevitable tendency of humans to think up of ways to... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Shopaholic Takes Manhattan is a hilarious second take on the life and times of Becky Bloomwood -- my favorite out-of-control shopper who is short on cash but ready with a long list of justifications for every purchase.

Customer Review:
I broke down and bought this after a couple of my friends gave it really good reviews. When it arrived, however, I was pretty mad to see how short the book was. Granted when I went back and looked at the product page, I could see it is called a novella, so it's not like they were falsely advertising... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
But you know that. If you've read any Diskworld novels, you're familiar with the insane cast of characters, the wonderful convoluted plots, the comedic pace of six or seven quotables a page* (when other funny writers are lucky to get one every page or two at best), and the meticulously crafted... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

One of my all-time favorite books is Something Happened by Joseph Heller.Something Happened That book did a phenomenal job of exploiting the absurd/hilarious tragedy that life is.
