Book Overview

Sure, children are the greatest gift of all -- but that doesn't mean you want to be seated next to one on an airplane.

From the dawn of time, other people's kids have found ways to spoil things for the rest of us. Movie theaters, parks, restaurants -- every venue that should be a place of refuge and relaxation has instead become a freewheeling playground complete with shrieks, wails, and ill-timed excretions.

Now, I Hate Other People's...

The funniest book I've ever read

I don't want kids. But when I tell other people that, they give me looks of shock and horror. All of a sudden, I'm a potential serial killer rather than a happy woman in her 20s. This book allowed me to see that there are OTHER people out there who DON'T like kids and DON'T want kids. Adrianne Frost's writing is HILARIOUS... I was laughing on every page. This is a great book to show to people who angrily ask you, "How can you NOT want kids?!?" From cover to cover, this book lists every single reason I've chosen to remain childless.... and it's done with sass and humor.

I suspect....

that the very few people who gave this book a poor rating, are the same people who are the PARENTS of the brats this book is talking about. Having to deal with the little hellions at our park on a constant basis, this book really helped me to gain some perspective and at least not pull all my hair out at one time.

I laughed out loud reading this book.

It's been a long time since a book made me laugh out loud while reading it. I took this to the car dealership to read while having my car worked on. I was laughing so hard, people were staring at me. I hope she writes a follow-up book that centers more on the parents of kids I hate. This book touches on it, but I do believe there's an entire book to be written on the subject. I'm glad Ms. Frost wasn't too PC - she said just what she felt. Although I would've preferred no profanity, I was surprised that the book didn't overuse it. There were a few vulgar remarks, but overall, this book was wonderful. And hilarious.

I'm a parent who loves this

I'm glad this is only $10, because I'll be ordering some as gifts. I kept finding myself thinking, "Yeah, I hate kids like that" . . . then hoping my kids aren't seen like that. Funny. Infuriating. Accurate. Frost goes from perfect representations of reality to extreme satire so quickly you can get whiplash. A great read . . . especially for the looks you get in public from parents with wild children.

if you've ever wanted to strangle a small child...

then this is the perfect book for you! Unfortunately it isn't heavy enough to do any damage should you choose to smack said child with. But this book will make you laugh out loud. Makes a great passive agressive gift for any relatives with small "angels" of their own.
