Synopses & Reviews
A Grumpy Man's Guide to Suburbia provides a hilarious perspective on life in the 'burbs. These short essays offer an entertaining look at everyday happenings, like tag sales (Why would anyone work for fifty hours to make $43.25?) or what not to say when your wife comes home from the hairdresser (You paid $25 for THAT?) or how to carve a turkey (Score: Turkey 1, Herb 0). The author provides humorous commentary on everything from houseguests to neighbors, from barbecuing to shopping for a spouse, and from marital communications to cleaning out the freezer. If you live in the suburbs or are married this book is a must. Poor Herb. he suffers so that the rest of us can laugh. - R.J. Marx Full of truth! I send copies [of his columns] to my friends. - P. Haskell It's not really Herb we end up laughing at - it's ourselves. There's wisdom in his wit! -, K. Combs Way to rant! Love the light-hearted approach/view! - New York Press Association I don't care how funny he is, he still doesn't pick up after himself. - T. Foster
