To Kill a Mockingbird:

Looking for a sappy, cliched, novel to read? One predictable as most young-adult books and more degrading than harlequin romances? Well, To Kill a Mockingbird is your book.

Charlotte's Web:

It is because of this horrid book that I eat sausage every morning and tell my dad to kill every spider I see. It is a traumatic, coma-enducing story that has changed my life forever.

The Bible:

Man, this book is boring. All this weird stuff happens and it's harder to get into than Lord of the Rings. And what's up with the red writing and the LORD says stuff. All caps = rude, peter paul and mark, whoever the heck you are. And this is just badly written. James Patterson could do better. These apostles need to get a clue and hire a ghost writer. Even Miley Cyrus's manager was smart enough to do that. Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ, indeed.

Starship Troopers:

I read this book in 1977 and 20 years later I am stillwondering where all the "action" is in this book everyone is talkingabout. I think its just a big pile of SH-T. Its all politics and philosophy. Do yourself a favor, and just see the movie.

Atlas Shrugs:

I bought the audio version and listened to it during an extended road trip. Had I gotten the print version, I would have set it aside after the first 100 pages. With the audiobook, I kept listening, hoping that the story would improve. It never did. Rand's characters are childishly one-dimensional. Her "philosophy" is as profound as a fortune cookie. For the life of me, I cannot understand why so many are so enthralled with her writing.

Do not pick up this book unless you're willing to waste untold hours of your life being bored to tears. Two thumbs enthusiastically down.

The Constitution and The Declaration of Independence:

I ask you, what is the most famous part of the Declaration of Independence? No, besides the whole freeing ourselves from "absolute tyranny". No not "all men are created equal"...

...it's JOHN HANCOCK'S signature! On the actual document it is huge! On this one, not only is it small, but it is also in the same font as everything else. How difficult would it have been to take a screen shot of the signatures and fit it to a page? All you have to do is pull up the file (Declaration07041776.wpd) and change the font size.

Since the authors have clearly "modernized" this document, then I ask you, why not include pictures as well? Perhaps a tea bag at the end of the Declaration. Or what about a portrait of George Washington himself? I mean, he's on the one dollar bill, and there's like a billion of them floating around, so how difficult would it be to insert a picture into this little book? They could even have included action shots as well. Maybe Abraham Lincoln chopping down the cherry tree, or Franklin Delano Roosevelt at Appomattox, or even John F. Kennedy arm wrestling Adolf Hitler to end World War II. Any of these would have added spice to this pocket guide.
