REVIEW:
Such fun!
Every morning I would see and see what was in store when reading this book. Every day was a new little vignette about someone and the not-so-smart choices they make.
We have all laughed at someone's expense, possible even our own, and this book is exactly that. Small vignettes of people's decisions that are not of their best decisions, and we get a laugh at them. It's not hurtful or mean, most of these vignettes were in the news or otherwise.
For me, I am always amazed at how brain-dead people can be sometimes. You know it happens but to read about the mishaps and bad decisions really put it in perspective.
It is a harmful way to get a laugh and learn not to do that same thing yourself. You don't want to be the next ding-dong on the news anyway.....
