This book is funny. It's modeled on Ambrose Bierce's classic "Devil's Dictionary," but the subject is Euro-clubbing. It's a field guide to nightlife, with entries cataloging a variety of specimens such as "Dad House DJ," "Hot Dog Merchant," and "Breakdancer," that one encounters on a night out. The book's observations are precise, but some of the humor may be too parochial for those outside of London.

Skeezy hot dog merchants though... them's universal mate!
