"To delve into this book is to take a tour of Oswalt's delightfully
offbeat mind. . . . Oswalt is a wonderfully descriptive
writer."--Booklist
"I don't know what's sharper, Oswalt's brains or Oswalt's
tongue."
--Sarah Vowell
"I have impeccable taste, and I only converse with the following
three: God, the Devil, and Patton Oswalt. All three have opened for
me. This book is a funny tragedy. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll
convert to Pattonism. If you do not love this book, remember, I
know where you live in your mother's basement."
--Harlan Ellison
"Patton Oswalt is among the funniest on-stage talking humans I am
aware of, so it annoys me deeply that he is also an incredibly
talented writer. It annoys me, but it does not surprise me. Every
sentence in this book is funny (except for the sad ones), but it
also brims with Oswalt-ian smarts and surprising poignancy."
--John Hodgman
"Perfect--I can describe Patton's book the same way I describe his
stand up--brilliant and prolific, I am slackjawed, amazed, and left
feeling both inspired and fraudulent."
--Sarah Silverman
