Complete Idoit's Guide for Dumies

User Review: - Good for the time period, some laughs although it's fairly dated now.
If, in these post 9/11-Iraq War-Patriot Act days of ours you need a nostalgic throwback to when the Spice Girls and Survivor were the most disturbing things going on in American society, this book might do it for you. This book was written around the beginning of the period when our society truly started taking in REALLY dumb television and media and is incredible satire to that end. Of course, there are the requisite Clinton/Lewinsky jokes that were new then but beaten into the ground now. Not a bad read...I still open mine up every now and then.

User Review: - If you like the 3 Stooges, you'll love this book.
As parodies go, it's almost as good as the National Lampoon Yearbook (the best parody of this kind I've ever seen) and much funnier than OJ's Legal Pad. I found myself laughing steadily while reading it, though I was able to eat a PB&J and drink milk without any milk blowing out my nose, which is why it only gets 4 stars. I'm gonna give it as gifts to several of my friends who could really use it. They think they're way too smart for their own good.

User Review: - I May Not Be a Smart Man, But I Know What Love Is
I read "The Complete Idoits Guide For Dumies," and like my mama said, some books are good and some are gooder. This one is just plain gooder. I loved it lots. I would recomend this book for anyone who needs a better way to understand what being mentally slow is. My mama said that dumies is as dumies does, and I think that lady got something there. Thank you, mama, and thank you United States of America.

User Review: - Hilarious!
Although the authors could have done a better job proofreading -- they spelled both the words "Idiott's" and "Dummys" wrong in the TITLE, for gosh darn sakes -- I felt the book was informative and worthwhile for readers of any age, gender, or level of mental acuity. The book, which is clearly a parody and is obviously unaffiliated in any way with the official Dummys' and Idiott's guides that it mocks and spoofs, has definitely turned my frown upside down. If I could ever meet the authors, I would definitely ask them for a free copy of the book, but if they did not comply or couldn't understand what I was saying I would buy a copy with my own money. THE BOOK IS THAT GOOD.
