TitleLeadingThe
ReviewsAn encyclopedic fun house of information and illustrations teeming with hundreds of entries covering everything from the letter A to Zibby the cartoon squirrel., Forget Wikipedia, burn all your books, and snap that Encarta CD Rom in half, because The Onion has just released its BOOK OF KNOWN KNOWLEDGE., "One of the best works that "The Onion" has ever produced...[it] dryly parodies an encyclopedia in the most comprehensive manner imaginable.", "Leave it to the geniuses at The Onion, who have revolutionized the science of sarcasmic infoengineering in the weekly print newspaper format, to do the same for the venerable encyclopedia. Miraculously, in only 250 or so pages, they have managed to cram more meaningful information about our universe into one book than Google or Bing or even Alta Vista have been able to do with several times that number of "web pages"."

A sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek look at our society
This is a fun page-turning romp through the looking glass as we watch snarky writers poke fun at ourselves. Like most publications in the main stream there is a liberal slant to the articles, but if you're easily offended this probably isn't the book you should be picking up in the first place.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Love it or hate it
A man was asked if the broccoli he was eating was any good. He replied,”It’s very good, if you like broccoli.” Same application here. If you like the onion’s sense of off-beat humor, this is a good book. I personally like it, but i only gave 4 stars because this book occasionally goes over the top into hurtful, spiteful digs that are, in my opinion, totally unnecessary. Recommended, if you like broccoli.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Good but not great humor
From the people who brought you the Onion. The humor is, at times, heavy handed, but overall enough to put a smile on your face if not a laugh in your belly.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
