I am part way through this book and I would say that it is hit and miss. I can read an essay without any huge laughs and then find myself laughing out loud in the next essay. I think that it is amusing through and through. It is not hysterical, but it does have frequent points that make me laugh.
The short chapters are nice because you can pick it up and put it down after reading 2-3 minutes. I am busy so that is a nice perk.
The book is a lot more amusing if you are very cynical about the American culture and consumerism. I am, so I love laughing at the absurd behavior we have grown accustomed to. I would suggest this book; it will give you a couple laughs and make you think about the strange life we live in America.
