Jim Rising, Program Director of the radio station 102.3fm The Mountain WDMT and host of a weekday radio show, has compiled a collection of his rants that have been broadcast. Full of wit and irony Jim straightforwardly covers topics of what occurs in the daily life of Northeastern Pennsylvanians. Most of them asking the very common question of why the people of NE Pa do what they do. Living in the same "neck of the woods" it gives the ability to visualize the locations and scenarios that he mentions. I greatly appreciate the humor and irony as he encompassed the diversity of beauty and unsavoryness that makes up our little patch of the world.If you live in NE PA you will empathy with this collection and even be a little prideful of where we call home, if you don't you will still get a kick out of seeing how we live our crazy lives. Proceeded from this book are given the Hoyt Library in Kingston, Pa, so pick up a copy, have a good laugh, and help out a well deserving piece of our community.

Rising's book is a compilation of articles from his PA newpaper articles and radio shows. He rants about everything from man breasts to toilets, stupid drivers to fist fights, cell phone and email addictions, weather..lots of it..., saving another person with the "Heineken" maneuver, Christmas shopping, stinking garbage, root canals and toilets, and a variety of other topics--some humorous, others not so much. I think I covered most of his rants but then again, I could be wrong!

This book was so good. I thought it would be alright but nope it was soo good. Jim Rising has got to be one of the coolest guys around.

The books is short but it is full of humour.

I found Jim Rising to be a fascinating guy and his book is pure genius. There's little else I can say about the book. Definitely check it out.
