The insanity continues. This book is slightly different than the others. Nathan is doomed and crazy things are happening all around him as he takes the adventure on the road. I really enjoy seeing how he handles all the craziness because he doesn't handle them the way normal people do. Bureaucracy is at its finest in this book as lots of paperwork is completed for the craziest things. I still have some questions about the cosmic bureaucrats and how they reacted to the things happening at the end of the book. Definitely curious how things will go in book 4.

This is the third book about Nathan Haynes and how he keeps dying and making the bureaucracy that runs the universe quite upset, especially Director Fulcher and Overdirector Powell.
Nathan, Travis and Brian have left Dead Donkey behind and are on a bus to Las Vegas, hoping that things will calm down.
Of course they won't. There's an incredible group of people on the bus including yet another serial killer. Nathan also goes to see a psychic who uses a flat-screen TV instead of a crystal ball and she informs him that he is doomed.
Which, actually, he is since the cosmic bureaucracy made it so. There are various attempts on his life, another plane crash, a dog that can pilot a plane or a bus, beavers building dams across the road (they want to go to Canada) and Nathan's invasion of Director Powell's own office.
The book remains funny throughout although it's not quite as side-spliting funny as the first two.

Third Books a Charm!
The third book in the "Sign Here Please" series is up to Stanek's usual standards as Nathan and his motley collection of companions (you can't really call them friends!) go on a road trip of sorts to Las Vegas in order to "undoom" him. Prepare to take the bus ride of your life as they take on everything from angry beavers to exasperated economists and even encounter a rather peculiar supervillain on their wayward journey to Vegas!

Very entertaining!
Andrew Stanek is not only clever in the way he plays with words but also in the way he weaves them all together to create good fun stories that twist and turn and keep you guessing. Truly enjoyable lighthearted read but with enough depth to make it stand out from the fluffy books out there.

Cleverly ridiculous
Everything in this series is outrageously inane while managing to cause unexpected and reluctant mirth occasionally. I've read 3 now and will be knocking my head against the wall once again when I return to Dead Donkey for the 4th.

Tossing this on the “life’s too short for bad novels” pile, along with the last 2 in the series. I really, really wanted to like these books. There are some clever gems throughout the first 2.2 books in the series (I quit this one at 20%) but it’s just not enough.
I waited 6 years between finishing the 2nd and starting the 3rd in hopes that I was the problem. Even if I am, it’s not going away. The wordplay and surrealism aims for Douglas Adams, but the plot fails to gel and the characters are all so thin as to actively thwart any interest in what becomes of them.
I give this 2 stars only because I reserve 1-star rating for books I’m unhappy to have even started. These books may be a pleasant beach read for some, if you can keep the bar low.

So now the brain damaged idiot Nathan formerly of Dead Donkey, Nevada still can’t stop dying. He’s still pissed off the bureaucrats running everything because he won’t sign his form 21B, can’t stop dying, and his file is in even bigger disarray than ever before. And Brian is still having to keep an eye on him (while trying not to die with him). Unfortunately, Stanek still keeps covering too much ground from previous books and spends entirely too much time explaining the dumbest stuff that has nothing to do with the storyline. Half of it just seems like he’s explaining just for the sake of extra pages.

Nathan and the gang take on the cosmic bureaucracy once again. This time Nathan has been marked officially "doomed". How can Nathan and the guys get Nathan out of this fix? Will Nathan ever get his laundry done? Can Nathan take on Over director Powell without becoming a skull cane? Read the book already!

Hilarious again
Somehow this series manages to keep on going, and to keep on being funny. I'll be getting the next book in about 6 seconds.

Love this series!
Just as fun, adventurous and funny as the previous 2 books! This one ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, so off to read book 4!!

I really enjoyed this whole series! Andrew Stanek has a sense of humor much like my own so I was highly entertained by this book! I would (and actually already have) recommend this entire series to everyone!

Very good
I have now read all of this series and enjoyed them very much indeed. I would recommend them to anyone who enjoys comic fantasy. I intend to find other books by this author.

Such a pleasure to read something so funny, the author is whitty and talented and Nathan is annoying and funny, and Brian has a silly name. Do your self a favour buy all 4 books and read them as one it's well worth it.
