NewInBooks said: "Michael N. Marcus delivers a whimsically profound exploration of life's quirks and quandaries, weaving together nearly eight decades of keen observation and humor, making it a delightful read for anyone seeking to reflect on the complexities of existence with a smile."

A reader said: "This book is so funny that I nearly peed in my pants. My girlfriend didn't think it was funny so I got a new girlfriend."

Another reader said: "The book is hilarious. Really, really funny. I laughed so hard I could barely breathe when I read the 'cockroaches with lobster costumes' line."

Another reader's reaction: "Brilliant! Who knew that you had this much sexual depravity in your past? I'll never look at you the same way."

And: "This may be the funniest book ever! I laughed so hard reading it that the dogs got out of bed. They forgave me when I read the Cat Lasagna story to them. You are a wise man and a wiseass: a winning combination."
