There isn't really much to say to review this book. It's composed entirely of Denis Leary's comments to current events in Tweet format. It takes less than 20 minutes to read (and that's a generous estimate). And you either find Denis Leary funny or you don't. If you suspect that you don't think he's funny, the book won't be sufficient to try to convince you that he is, so save your money. If you do think that Denis Leary is funny, you don't need me to tell you that you might enjoy this book.

As with most things @DenisLeary - very funny. A short round-up of his 2010 tweets.
Wish there was more to it, like I do? Follow him on Twitter.

I'm probably going to break my "your review needs to be longer than the book blurb" credo. Why? Because the book blurb is longer than the book itself. I kid you not. The "book" is 104 pages long. Roughly half of those are pictures. Each remaining page contains 1 twit each, 140 characters or less. There's nothing to judge here. No plot structure or character development. No use of proper grammar or cliches. You either think the guy's funny or you don't.

Considering I think Denis Leary is nothing short of a god, I find him, and his most recent book, quite hilarious. I'd already seen 1/3 of the snarks since I follow him on Facebook and Twitter but that's okay. I don't mind helping his kids through college despite my own heinous student loan debt.

Really, all this is book is is another piece of Denis Leary fun added to your growing pile of Denis Leary stuff. You will get through it, literally, in about 5 minutes. 10 if you keep getting pulled away. Any longer and I might start to question your reading competence. So if you're a fan of Denis Leary, you're going to want to nab this one up. It's nowhere near as good as Why We Suck but it'll make you laugh all the same. That is if you have a rather self-deprecating and un-politically correct sense of humor.
