Media Reviews
This is the best book of embarrassing and strange photos of people who look like my family that I have ever seen. * Judd Apatow (Superbad, Knocked Up, and 40 Year Old Virgin) *
I wept with laughter fourteen times while reading this book and snorted aloud twice. I dare you to find a higher weep/snort ratio in any other publication. * Karen McCullah Lutz, screenwriter of Legally Blonde and The Ugly Truth *
Anything that both makes me laugh and think my family isn't so embarrassing deserves to be a book. * Joel Stein, Time magazine columnist *
The most remarkable thing here is that people are willing to share such indignity with the world, but we're glad that they have because it's internet gold. * The Guardian *
This is genius! * Graham Norton *
Being a test tube baby doesn't seem such a bad idea after looking at these folks. I laughed till it hurt. To paraphrase Tolstoy... every family is freaky in its own way. * David Byrne *
