Let's pretend this never happened (a mostly true memoir)

It's crass; it's shocking; it's mostly hilarious!

I was first introduced to The Bloggess when someone posted her entry about Beyonce the giant metal chicken. The entire book is made up of such anecdotes from the author's life.

Great summer read.

Jenny Lawson is a funny lady. She's just my kind of sassy, neurotic and rude. When this book works, it's because she's writing with her own voice, the same voice you hear on her blog. When this book doesn't work -- which is, unfortunately, most of the time -- it's because someone took that same voice and tried to hit it with the literary stick. What you get is a dull hybrid that falls too flat to be any way engaging. It's a shame. Although I'd say this is almost certainly first-time jitters and her next book will be something special.
