Bear v. Shark by Chris Bachelder
5.0
I ordered this on a whim and after a couple pages I thought it was going to turn out like most of my whim books - like crap. A few pages in, it occurred to me that this was the kind of pop culture satiric overload that I'd like to avoid.
But very soon I was laughing like crazy. I was laughing until I cried. I really can't remember the last thing I read or heard or saw that was this funny. First thing I did when I finished the book was go back and read some of my favorite chapters - like, um, 29 and 62. Thank goodness for the index!
I am now pushing this book on everyone with a sense of humor. Some very ridiculous questions are asked, like does a shark have a neck? Do the Dutch have a culture? What's a Guardian knot? And most important, given a relatively level playing field, who would win in a fight between a bear and a shark?
