This is one of the funniest books I've ever read. If you like satire and offbeat, sarcastic humor, you might enjoy it too. The stories in this collection revolve around the theme of love - finding love, keeping it, and ending it. It grabbed me with the first story, told from the perspective of a condom and his time spent in a teenage boy's wallet. Some of my other favorites included the story of God and his demanding girlfriend and the story of Oog who is in love with Girl. Oog's not really smart, and he might not be able to count as high as some other guys, but he seems like a good guy, if you don't factor in the way he gets rid of his competition. Even some of the more ridiculous stories, such as the one where the main character's ex-girlfriend starts dating Hitler, still made me laugh.If Simon Rich's other books are as funny as this one, I plan to read them all.
