Summary: Great Gift Book for Everyone
Comment: When I got my first copy I honestly didn't know what to expect. I bought it mostly because of the title. But what a fantastic book. It's a lot of fun, very funny and super fast to read. It just keeps coming at you. The author Bob Fenster must be some sort of weird guy or at least he has a wonderfully weird outlook on life. I've just ordered four more copies of "Duh" for our kids for Christmas.

Summary: Sheer stupidity! Gathered up in one source! Gotta love it!
Comment: Yes, indeed, this particular title caught my eye when I was browsing on the Humor shelves at Border's last summer. I took a look at the back description, and then flipped through the first few sections, and I then decided it was definetly worth a read!This author, who I'd never heard of before, has done an incredibly excellent job in documenting Humanity's dumb doings, from the modern age, to politics, the military, sports, science, crime, and all of the foolish and crazy historical figures that have contributed to all of history's stupidity. Admittedly, I found that I could not read this all at once, it took a period of a few weeks to absorb this tome, and take it all in and really enjoy it. Eventually, it was worth it. To tell the truth, I found this book really entertaining. Buy it for yourself sometime, you'll find that logic doesn't dictate it and declare it to be so, it's based on, yes, that's right, sheer stupidity! Hey, if you can't figure something out, just laugh at the absurdity of it all, right? But, you know, DUHHHH, that's just the way I feel! You know about some of those other things you read or watch, and that you can just feel the intelligence gradually drain from your being? No concern about that here!You'll get smarter from reading this! Hey, that's the truth! Would I lie?

Summary: Somewhat amusing, somewhat disappointing
Comment: A good book to read once, but I regret buying it. While most of the stories are fun, they are (mostly?) urban legends. The book "Darwin Awards" was better since it told which stories were confirmed to be true.
I was also disappointed by misinformation in the book, even with my education I knew many things to be false. At times the author's attitude is presented too strongly.
All in all, not a bad book, but I still prefer the "Darwin Awards" series of books when I want to laugh at human stupidity.
