Do Arseholes write about Ants and 101 OBRQs? April 30, 2008

I read the negative reviews here about this book and thought what a load of stuffshirts. With my well honed schoolboy sense of humour I couldn't wait to take this to the inner sanctum to read.

I have to agree with the 'stuffshirts' I am afraid. I cannot even say it is 'puerile', it's just rubbish. I think there was something that made me laugh somewhere but not sure.

A shame, a great title and a great idea for a parody on the absolutely excellent New Scientist books but I think they had more humour in them than this does. It reminded me of 'Shite's unoriginal miscellany' the author's name was a perfect description of the contents.

It's quite scary to see that some people have taken this book seriously. Maybe it is a symptom of the world today but it's good to know that the rest of us have a sense of humour!

This is the old adage "Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer" in book form.

Whilst some of the entries are very funny, and a lot of the questions invite bizarre answers, the reader is left at the end wondering... why?

Why do people feel compelled to write in with random yarns that could be misconstrued as fact? Why do I still have to check myself thinking that some of it mught be true? Why did they have to publish a book-full?

Truth be told, this is a book you leaf through at bed time, have a little chuckle, then put down, but the irony is not lost. This is a book full of people asking questions no one asks, being answered by people who have far too much spare time, and you sit there thinking "why I am bothering to read it?"

It's not an awful book, it fills a gap. But, like the articles themselves, it is a bit pointless.

I felt compelled to review this as it was so bad March 3, 2008

I bought this book thinking it might contain lots of interesting and random facts about things and life in general. It is a very small book containing fictional letters from people which are meant to be humourous but if you have half a brain it is really very tedious and uninteresting.

There are smatterings of factual information but you would have to be aware of this information in the first place in order to sieve it out of the sea of complete and utter nonsense it is contained within.

In short, do not buy this if you are hoping for an interesting read. Perhaps younger readers would enjoy it but they would certainly not learn anything.

I did find this book useful as a sleeping aid as it is so competely boring and pointless.

Pedantic is a great word to sum up this book. It is not humourous. It is like going into a website forum and getting smart answers back from immensely unlike able people. It was swiftly put onto ebay after Christmas. I dont really know who this book is aimed at. I am 27 and even I found it to be incredibly childish and unfunny.
