O’Rourke is a league above. A bit long winded in some of his gags, but always hilarious and always ringing too true.

The author has a way of making really serious issues seem really trivial by bringing them all 'down to his level'. He can't seem to identify problems without making a snide remark (apparently humour, but none of it really funny), and offers few serious solutions to any of them. This kind of cynical carping is tolerable from a drunk and cantankerous uncle around the lunch table for an afternoon, but I can't make it through a whole book.
