Too narrow to be useful; too technical to be humorous.

Not as good as Death Sentence. Some wilful ignorance of the usefulness of some phrases, tied together with bitches about the Howard government (fish:barrel), call centres, Iraq and NLP. Nowhere near as funny (or ire-inducing) as I'd hoped.
The misquoting of The Simpsons makes me wonder about the accuracy of the other sources in the book. Disappointing.
