The Ultimate Counterterrorist Home Companion: Six Incapacitating Holds Involving a Spatula and Other Ways to Protect Your Family

i was given this as a gift. I read it. I liked it. It's funny. that's about all i have to say. well done

This father son team has struck gold again with their third book, "The Ultimate Counterterrorist Home Companion." This book is laugh-out-loud hilarious. If you haven't read their other two books, "The Dog Ate My Resume" and "The Bad Driver's Handbook," run to buy them...you won't be sorry. Each page is funnier than the next! Anything from this fantastic duo is bound to be pure excellence.

Humor is elusive, hard to define, but the Arnsteins' new book unmistakably has it in spades. It's simply nonstop funny. Like all good satire, though, the book has plenty of bite - and targets eminently worthy of being bitten. Many of said targets hang around Washington, finding ways to use the terrorist threat to further their own political ends. Better to laugh than cry, and the father-and-son Arnstein team helps us do just that. With their earlier "The Dog Ate My Resume" and "The Bad Driver's Handbook," this makes a perfect trifecta - on an edgier, more important subject.

The Arnstein twins (father and son) have struck again, and turned the hat trick in their latest outing. From lessons in slackerhood (The Dog Ate My Resume) to ways to get even with humanity on your way to work (The Bad Driver's Handbook), they now turn their attention to the Topique de Jour, terrorism, and bring it right home to Mom and Pop America. In 34 hard-hitting chapters, they do more to bolster our personal security than the DHS has done in six years. How to Build a Moat was worth the price of the book by itself. And every American owes it to their family to take the "Are You A Terrorist?" survey. But seriously, folks, good satire is hard to find in these humorless, Republican days, unless you are lucky enough to fall into the pages of an Arnstein rant. Their latest is a gem, and a steal at $12.95.
