C+

A collection of humorous essays dealing with everything from deformed, exiled members of the Kennedy Family to Martha Stewart's vagina, the author gives off plenty of frat-boy humor and sophisticated irony to appease two different sets of readers. For everyone in between, there is little to nothing. When the laughs come, they are either small chuckles of acknowledgment or guffaws from illiterates giggling at the word "penis". Stewart shines when he is dead-on, like in his short but comedically satisfying "A Very Hanson Christmas", or when he parodies Judaism (which occurs very often). Using hyperbole at its best in "Breakfast at the Kennedy's" and "Pen Pals", Stewart pens a social commentary for this day and age - both the hopelessly stupid and the well educated. Unfortunately, it caters more to the former rather than the latter, and highlights the stunning disparities between the two. Overall, an A for effort, but a significantly worse grade for the lack of adeptness in which it is carried out.
