The Areas of My Expertise
by Authors:
John Hodgman
Hardcover
Average Customer Rating:
Tries desperately to be funny and clever...
but fails miserably. I think this book is actually a shaggy dog joke rather than a book that anyone has actually enjoyed. Between the John Stewart appearance, the viral spam marketing campaign, and the 5 star reviews here on this site, the joke is on whoever purchases this book. I get it. It's "viral marketing", it's "post modern", it's a meta-joke. It's just not in any way amusing or entertaining. Painful to read, it reminds me of nothing so much as what Dave Barry was probably writing when he was in junior high school. Trust me, you have funnier friends than this author. Go trade an email or two with someone who is actually witty and clever and you'll be a lot better off.
Great read for hoboes and non-hoboes alike
Unbelievably clever, witty and laugh your brass off funny.
Witty, Strange, Smart, Wonderful, Odd, Hoboerotic
OK not the last one. If you haven't gathered by now you will probably either love this work or hate it. I found it delightful and bizarre. Perhaps every bit didn't work perfectly but overall I enjoyed the book quite a lot.
I couldn't help but think that if the legendary British comedian Peter Cook ever had the dedication to write a book (he didn't) it may have looked a little like 'The Area of My Expertise'. Yes I think John Hodgman and Cook's E.L. Wisty would get along quite well.
Take a chance and try this fun little book. If you don't like it you can always donate it to one of the many non-profit hobo foundations across the country and claim it on your taxes.
