Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

New Math offers a unique and humorous take on life as told by old-school arithmetic equations. For instance, does a cat plus loyalty equal a dog? What's the equation for a backyard? And if you're angry, are you ticked off to the second or third power? The answers to these questions and many more are cleverly revealed in New Math.

A book for those who want to know how to delineate or define emotions, activities, or just everyday stuff in an amusing and new way, New Math is a little bit of acumen and a lot of hilarity that adds up to a must-read.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL = JAIL + PUBERTY

SANITY = EVERYONE ELSE'S CRAZINESS / MINE

BULLY = A JERK - 1 GOOD ASS-KICKING

Too funny -- and poignantly true!

I love word plays, and these are ingeniously clever and thought-provoking.
