"This book is pretty good, for the kind of book that it is," .....James Gauldin
"I can without reservation and from the bottom of my heart say that, of all the books I've recently
read, this is definitely one of them".........Doug Lomheim
"Amazing, definitely a two thumbs book. A delight to finish. Strictly speaking, it is simply an
amazing attempt at one of the most sensational collection of stories ever compiled. Highly
recommended reading, even more so than any of the best books ever written." ......Mark Friesen
"I met Owen Blickensderfer approximately fifteen years ago. I can assure you, as the reader, that
not a dull moment has passed since that initial meeting. At times, I have wondered if Owen fell
from the sky and was accidentally placed in Mott, North Dakota, instead of Lake Woebegon,
Minnesota. We are better off in North Dakota because of it."......Kert Acklam, unbiased relative
and friend
"Are you a reader? One who really enjoys plumbing the depths of language? This book may not be for you. But how many of you are out there anyway? On the other hand, if you enjoy the depths of plumbing, this is your ticket. Owen is a funny guy, a real guy and a guy's guy. And I know there are lots of us who relate to that.
This book won't make you go on a diet, won't make you cry, won't make you do anything you don't want to do, but you will find it useful. How? That depends on how you use it. Use it for a chuckle and to support Owen's family. (God knows they need it.) Use it for the extra inch your child needs to sit at the table with the grown-ups. Use it for a fly swatter when nothing else is handy. Place it on your coffee table when you want to impress people that are coming over. (It will make an impression, guaranteed!) Use it to double as a doorstop. Use it to replace the catalog in the bathroom when necessary and only after all other uses have been exhausted. (People who know value will know exactly what I'm talking about here.) And if everything else fails, it can be used as fire kindling. Now there's a bargain for you! And what would you expect to pay for all that? 59.95? 69.95? 99.95? No! All this can be yours for the measly price on the back cover. Or call Owen and insist on a discount. He won't give it to you, but it could lead to a fascinating discussion. (I'm not saying Owen is a cheapskate, but he knows you will want to get your money's worth.)
So, having never read the book myself, I can obviously, wholeheartedly recommend it. "
..........Jay Thomson
"This book is imaginative and insightful, with a generous dose of insanity ... and that's just the
back cover! This is a book full of wisdom, warmth and wit, and at the wits end you'll find it was
time well spent. Owen has an outstanding grasp of the obvious! A must read, (if you must read.)"
.........Steve Thomson
"This is it: the book to make your library complete. The book for all seasons by a man from one. Truly a homeopathic book for idiopathic readers by a sociopathic author. In a word, pathetic! You cannot afford to give this book a miss. Besides your 1928 Merck Manual and your '64 LandRover Repair Guide, this is all you'll ever need between two covers. A parenting text, domestic engineering guidebook, psychology review, veterinary journal, classified section, village health manual, travelogue, biography and bibliography all combined with witty commentary on the sick society which spawned it.
This book is to books as Kilimanjaro is to mountains. The joy is not in the climbing, but in having climbed. This is one book you will want to have already read. Get it and put the task behind you. You'll never be sorry you did, though you might wonder why."
.............Karen DuBert
"An absolute dervish of self-obnoction!" ~ Edsel C. Dan
"Do you like spinning your children around the room in an office chair?
Do you think that a Betamax VCR is good because the clock still works?
Do you like April Fool's jokes?
Do you want to be rich and famous, at least, in your own mind?
Then this is it! Buy this one!"..............Roger Bates
"This interesting piece of work fills a much-needed void in modern literature" . . . . . Brian Wright
"This is the best book I have ever read! I can't think of another author in the last thousand years that can captivate like Mr. Blickensderfer!" ..... Owen's Mother
