I thought I had a handle on it, but this book gave me a rude awakening. I thought I was snarky and I was wrong! Apparently to be a champion snarker you must pick apart people by any flaw they have and be an arrogant, misogynistic twit that has no real understanding of women. I have been doing it wrong the whole time. Now that I have my trusty repertoire of lame jokes, quotes and lists of movies and books that may or may not contain a hint of witticism I am ready to be a true snarkest! THANK YOU SO MUCH LAWRENCE DORFMAN!!!! You changed my life. You have actually inspired me to put together my own book. Now I know that all I need to do so is gather up a few quotes and references and intermittently make dense jokes, I am ready!If you have any concept of what real snark is this book will bore you senseless. You will stop and ask yourself "Does the author know about different types of humor?" I sure don't think he does. He lumps anything that could be considered mean, sarcastic, sexist, etc... into the snark category and often forgets that wit and intelligence play into it. It is hard to be condescending when there is no one below you to look down on(I'm looking at you Dorfman).Another thing, the citations were enough to drive a person crazy. Especially on a Kindle. You know you can do that in text, right? Especially since the book is set up like a kid's activity book. I'm glad I only paid 99 cents. Try harder Dorfman. I haven't given up on you yet.
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Guide, more like collection of remarks By Iliana Zuluaga This book is a bit misleading. Both, introduction and preface, seem entertaining and after reading them I was persuaded to buy it. I however regretted shortly after. It turned out to be a collection of comments, remarks and jokes, which are at most, mildly amusing. If you find it on sale go for it, or else you can skip it. I've read a lot of books with a similar idea which are far more better.
18 of 25 people found the following review helpful. The title is wrong in every particular By Ken Kleinman The compiler (or author, if you insist) has attempted to conceal the fact that this is merely a collection of funny quotes through the misleading title and by adding a few introductory paragraphs. But the book is almost entirely quotes. There are also a few jokes of the assorted quality and type that your buddy from college mass e-mails. I enjoy quote quotes, and there are at least 3 or 4 in the book that I don't recall seeing before. But the vast majority of the quotes will be familiar to many readers, the jokes have mostly been around for generations, and the comments from the compiler are unfunny at best. In addition, many of the quotes are misattributed, not attributed at all, or, most oddly, attributed to fictional characters.In short, the book is not really specifically about snark, since it includes humorous quotes and jokes which have nothing snarky about them. It's not a reference in that it is inaccurate or omits information that could have easily been included. It is not a guide in any conceivable sense-- it will teach you nothing about how to be snarky, to be specific. It is not about verbal sparring in that many of the included quotes are wholly self-contained and would make no sense in a verbal confrontation. It's a fine quote book for people who don't read too much.You want some snark in this review? OK: I wish the resale value hadn't been made negative by the author's signature on the title page.
