Blech! The stories are sometimes funny in ones on the blog, but all collected in a book it feels cruel.

So while reading this book it dawned on me that for some reason, although the stories were entertaining, I was not the least bit surprised by how stupid people can be. maybe we have been over exposed to it most of our lives, but then, you would think that somewhere,people would get smarter.

I do find that the idea is a little sick and twisted, but if you are into hearing stories about the robber that went down the chimney and got stuck....well, this book is for you.
