Hilarious look at human nature
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is one of the funniest, insightful collection of short stories I have ever read. The author's keen observations on the darker side of human nature made me cringe when I recognized myself as well as roll over laughing when I recognized my neighbors! Her attention to detail is second to none. I'm on the lookout for other books by this writer, but in the meantime I'll be passing this one along to my friends for Christmas.
