I did not believe in bad literature until I encountered this book, at first glance it is quite humorous and Baratunde is able to grasp your attention, but the further you progress into this book, you only wish that it was as good as the intro. This feels less than a book but a jam-packed book filled with blog-isque writing. No congregate chronological path with thrown about stories which do little to teach the reader lessons. Along the lines as a waste of time, there is little to learn here and not much humor, most of which is very dry. I would almost say I would prefer to read some more of the others perspectives rather then his. (Thurston uses others peoples perspectives through out the book). Perhaps it is because I grew up in Brooklyn but almost all of this is not necessary to read because everything seems like "common sense". If you enjoy bad books then knock yourself out, forcing myself to get through this one was out of habit.
