I almost feel bad giving this book a 3. It should get something more like a -3. But as insulting and upsetting the book was at times other times it was just plain funny, I don’t care who you are. it was funny. but, mostly it was terrible. There is really nothing else to say. TuckerMax.com.

This is a light read for those of you fond of Canada and its rich history. It deals with everything a newbie should know about Canada – where to meet people, what to wear, good insults…even how to drive. Part of the fun of this book is turning the page to find out what ridiculousness the Ferguson brothers will think of next. An example: "In Toronto, traffic lights are interpreted in the following manner:
Green: “Don’t stop!”
Yellow: “Faster! Faster!”
Red: “Screw ’em, they deserved to die.” "
What is fantastic is that they are content to poke fun at themselves throughout this as well, throwing in personal stories to highlight their comments. Both have won numerous humor awards from Canadian reviewers, and their excellent writing skills are evident here.

This is our second bookgroup book for December or January or whenever we get around to it. I have little to say about it because 1) I haven’t read any other Vonnegut (at least not the fiction) so I am told he develops some of these things later but not here and I guess that would have been cooler 2) I guess I am just sick of this genre and while I accept and understand that this is very very well done I can’t get past knowing that it is presently over done.

I just wish I had read this fifty years ago (you know twenty some odd years before I was born).
