So, right off the bat I noticed that a lot of these are in the wrong order. Why would the screenshot taker be the clueless, tech-inept parent, for example? There are even some where something Person A should be saying is said by Person B instead, making it look like they're talking to themself... And one where the actual funny part is missing and only the reaction is present. It ruins the immersion quite a bit, as it makes the screenshots more obviously fake. (Note that the author admits to these not being real screenshots. I'm not complaining about deception, merely about formatting errors.) Several images are also vertically stretched instead of displayed in their native resolution, making them ugly and hard to read on tall phones like mine.
That said, however, a vast majority of these are actually amusing. There definitely aren't "hours worth" of them like the book proclaims, but there's enough to provide some chuckles and improve a bad mood without becoming a chore. I found myself sharing several with my best friend, who giggled along with me, so I'd say that overall this book is a success.
I'd give 3.5 stars as is and 4.5 if edited to fix the formatting issues. So I'll meet in the middle at 4. Thanks for helping lift my mood some on an unpleasant night.
This is a collection of funny texts. They are divided into different categories but there is plenty of overlap. I have seen a lot of these online already. One thing that is slightly confusing. The author says "he wrote them" in the introduction.I was under the impression that they were real texts. Knowing they were written and didn't really happen makes them less funny.
