The problem is that my expectations were just far too high. Had I simply picked up the book and read it I likely would have considered it to be a funny book. But I went in thinking it was going to be the “funniest book ever!” As a result, the book was a let down. I ended up analyzing every page, every paragraph, every sentence and every word and asking myself, “is that the funniest word, sentence, paragraph that may be written right there?” I’d ask myself, WWDLS? (What Would David Letterman (or Dennis Leary) Say?)

The weight of expectations was too much for this little book.
