[Hákon Gunnarsson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the first book by John Callahan I've read, and I think it's fair to call the humor edgy, rude, politically incorrect. It somewhere along those lines, but more importantly, some of its jokes are truely hilarious. It's just that the humor isn't consistent. He repeats one gag, and I thought some of the jokes missed the mark a little.

It's a book that made me smile and laugh out loud, but also scratch my head. I may look up some more of his work because I liked some of the jokes very much, but in the end I think I'll give this one three and half stars.

Absolutely hilarious in that old-fashioned ‘80’s way. Great book for people who love dogs.
