"Why Men are Necessary and More News from Nowhere" by Richard Glover
Reviewed on 10 May 2021

This book is absolutely laugh-out-loud hilarious! Glover is a very funny author and will have you cracking up throughout most of his stories. The beginning stories were not as funny, but the more you read, the more you'll like the chapters. I especially loved his humour in the staycation, the minister for energy, the butt of all jokes, driven to distraction and when batboy returns. Glover is very witty and makes the most random comments and best punch lines.

This is the third book of his I've read and I will be enjoying more of his writing. I just wish I had an ounce of his humour! Would love to meet him at a party to see if he is actually as witty in real life as he is on paper!

Another joyful, laugh-out-loud reading experience!

Hilarious and brutally honest yet thought-provoking as well. Would read again (maybe after 10 years of marriage - to see if I'll turn into a Jocasta!)

At tad obvious, though none-the-less.

As heard on Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio show,'Thank God It's Friday'. Acute observations on life. Laugh-til-you-gag hilarious!

Some very funny stories that made me laugh out loud, interspersed with some silly stories and everything in between.

Hysterical. I honestly laughed myself to tears.
