Rising from the smoldering quagmire of political correctness overload, author and underpaid social analyst J.S.Buckingham arrives on the scene to deliver his no-holds-barred assessment of society at large. With intelligent humor, dry wit and biting sarcasm, Buckingham unleashes his observational assault on every subjuect from politics to cell phone abuse and virtually everything in between. Nothing is safe from his no-frills style of scrutiny. For those faint of heart or thin of skin, this may not be the book for you-but it should be. Read and be educated!
Praise and Reviews
Not for the faint of heart but very very funny, June 5, 2009| By | lastnerve "Val" (SC, USA) - See all my reviews |
I found myself laughing so hard at certain points such as "music stopped belonging to young people a lot time ago." I remember my parents saying the same thing to me when I was younger and now, here I sit saying the same thing to my children.
Brace yourselves everybody, rumor has it that there is a sequel of this book in the works. I do wholeheartedly agree that the more people try to differentiate themselves from others, they are in all actuality making themselves just like everyone else.
Again I must disagree with the U Aren't working bit. No further explanation is necessary, you have to buy the book and read it to understand. But on the other hand the My Personal Soapbox section I do agree with, there is only so much this country can handle before it buckles from the pressure.
This book is one mans very colorful view of the world. Entertaining, controversial, debatable are all words that can describe this book. Some might say that J.S has a sarcastic, cutting, snide outlook on life but even though my thoughts may not mirror his, I do have to admit, some of the comments stated are things I have thought over many, many times and just felt too politically correct to say anything about. So balancing the good with the bad, I would really have to say that yes, I would recommend this book to those who aren't easily pissed off, have a sarcastic sense of humor and who have an open mind. Remember this is only one man's opinion and because we happen to be live in America, it is his right to print what he feels needs to be said. Some excellent points were made throughout the book as you will find but if you are easily offended, then no, don't pick up the book, you won't like what you read. I think we should all have enough guts to defend our own opinions as this book has plainly done. I read on J.S's webpage http://www.jsbuckingham.vpweb.com/ where someone said "So much hate, I had to read it twice." I had to laugh! Pick up the book, judge for yourself.
