Book Reviews of Things that Suck
Book Review: What can I say? I laughed out loud, too!
Summary: 5 Stars
True, this has "bathroom reading" written all over it, but I spend a lot of my life in that room! Kaplan's knack for spooling off a list of similar frustrations--and then jumping to a radically different--but equally annoying--apsect of life is what repeatedly brought a smile to my face. Great stuff.
Summary of Things that Suck
THE LIST IS LIFEThought no one would bother listing every annoying thing in life? Wrong. Figured no one would ever consider putting it all in a book? Wrong again. So what's the most annoying thing that's happened to you in the past week? Bit your tongue? Dumped by text message? Lost your job? Spilled Diet Coke into your laptop? Just keep going. Because it turns out that misery makes great company. Turn to any page in the book and we promise your own cr*p will make you feel better.

Introducing Things that Suck, a sort of curmudgeon Zen master's handbook. What Roget does for synonyms, we're doing for pet peeves. Our goal is simple: We list. You laugh. Once a plan starts getting complicated, that's when things go wrong. So take comfort in the fact that a book without any complete sentences can bring a smile to your face. A book with no plot to follow. Where you can be the main character. And by the end, you'll find yourself thinking, "I wish there were more things that sucked!"
