Book Reviews of The Dog Dialed 911: A Book of Lists from The Smoking Gun
Book Review: ick
Summary: 1 Stars
This is nothing like I expected...
the entire first chapter (which is entitled: "Adult Entertainment") is full of nothing but sex jokes. This goes on for 30 pages befor you get into the Human waste, celebreties and "the creative uses of the word 'fag' by novelist Terry McMillan".
The third chapter is filled with Drunks and druggies, while the Fourth is about Bill O'Reilly.
The fifth gets slightly more interesting with slurs in Kid's puzzles, prison photos and half naked women.
The sixth deals with wierd things in papers children bring home from school or have on tests.
The seventh was the only non-trash chapter in the book. This dealt with the govenment/Politicians and funny/horrible things they did... like "Tips for Al-Qaeda Detainees".
The eighth is when you finally hear about the "Dog who dialed 911" but it is almost lost among the other trash about animals.
The ninth chapter entitled"Law and Order" deals with wierd laws and punishments. and while some is clean most has at least a hint of dirt about it.
The Tenth chapter is entitled "Freak Show" and is almost entirely about sex... with both yourself and animals.
The eleventh and last chapter (Thank God!) is about all the horiid things people say... three quarters of which deal with sex.
The most interesting thing in the book (besides the 7th chapter) are the prison photos of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks, which take up 2 pages in this 216 pages of trash.
I wouldn't mind so much if this was what they advertised it was, but this was nothing like the description...and I bought this as a Christmas present...imagine my shock when I flipped though and found these things...I had to get a different present!
