Book Reviews of F My Life
Book Review: Hilarious misfortunes
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have spent any time on the Internet, you may have seen the acronym "FML." (ML is "my life"; I'll leave you to guess what the "F" stands for.) This book is the embodiment of that statement. A collection of real-life events, with chapter titles such as "Rock Bottom" and "Moments of Shame," F My Life shows us that when we think we've got it bad, someone else has always had it worse.
In just a few short sentences, our hapless fellow humans can relate pain and misery beyond compare, each vignette ending with the infamous "FML." My favorites include, "My boss fired me by text message today. I don't have a text messaging plan. I just paid 25 cents to get fired. FML" and "I buried my girlfriend's cat in the backyard. When she came home, she was crying. Apparently, I hadn't dug it deep enough and its back legs were sticking out. FML"
If you delight in others' misfortunes, or if you just need proof that someone out there really does have it worse, check out F My Life.
Summary of F My Life
Today, my boss fired me via text message. I don?t have a text messaging plan. I paid 25 cents to get fired.Your girlfriend dumped you, your car broke down, your boss passed you up for the big promotion. Life?s not fair, but there is one sure-fire way to ease your pain?laughing at someone else who had an even worse day than you did.
Enter the devastatingly funny world of F My Life, where calamity is comedy. Covering every disastrous pratfall in love, work, family-life, and more, F My Life proffers other people?s ruinous, real-life happenings to brighten your gloomiest day: someone getting dumped through a greeting card, ignored at their birthday party, or insulted by their own grandmother. Spanning everything from ironic twists of fate to down-right shameful moments, F My Life?s squirm-inducing stories are schadenfreude at its finest. So today, take solace in knowing that at least you?re not that guy. There now, don?t you feel better?
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. I cried and told him that I loved him. He gave me a quarter and told me to call someone who cared. I threw the quarter in his face and ran. I waited for the bus, but when I got on, I realized I was 25 cents short of the fare. I walked home in the rain.
Today, my mom walked in on me looking at a 1978 Playboy. She asked if I found it in the basement. I said yes. Then I realized she was the centerfold.
Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said ?That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream.?
