In this sequel to the best-selling Uncle John’s Presents Book of the Dumb, guest author John Scalzi casts a wide net to bring readers more mind-boggling dumbosities perpetrated by dumb-doers. This time, to prove that dumb-nastics are not a modern phenomenon, Scalzi digs into the past to unearth some of history’s most ill-advised blunders. The lesson: Dumb is as dumb does. And you’ll be smarter for reading it.

2.0 out of 5 stars A book that well fits its title.
Reviewed in Canada on January 31, 2010
I bought the book for the only reason that John Scalzi was involved in it and I expected a certain amount of his writing style to permeate it. Perhaps it's there, but definitely not enough to salvage it. While anyone can enjoy others' tales of stupidity, there needs to be some kind of originality in the presentation for it to be good. This book appears as a dumb pile of anecdotes without any added value as far as I'm concerned, and definitely wasn't worth the price to me.

As always Bathroom Reader came thru again. I have been reading this series since they first came out and have enjoyed every single one. Keep up the good work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing!

I wish I had trusted the first reviewer rather than the second. I've read most of the Uncle John's books, and enjoy them. This is by far my least favorite. The writing is mostly fluff, not succinct like other Uncle John's books. The writer tries to be humorous, but in my opinion fails. Let the story provide the humor. Articles end three quarters down the page or near the top of the next page, then another starts on the following page. This gives the impression that they're padding the book to make it longer/thicker. If this had been my first Uncle John book I doubt I would have bought so many others. Thankfully the others are so much better! Think twice about buying this book. Perhaps review it at a local bookstore first.

If you ever wanted a book you could read over and over again. This book is a sure laugh every time. I greatly enjoy Uncle John's books. I have started a collection and will pursue every book made by this company.
