For fans of Dave White's blog, this book reads like his sassy posts about LA and pop culture. He has a way of peppering the most mundane observations with clever comedic one-liners that bitchslap you when you least expect it, like the punk-rock David Sedaris you'll never hear on NPR. For the uninitiated, this loose collection of essays only reveals a hint of his emerging talent. This reader is anxious for his next book: bigger targets await the wrath of his satire.
