This is a great annual gift that is read cover to cover time and time again! Definitely a "boy gift." : )
I own The Bathroom Reader #1 thru #20. December 30, 2008
I own The Bathroom Reader #1 thru #20, and this volume is great like all the others. I'm hooked. I bought almost all of these from Amazon, and have been satisfied with all deliveries. I had a problem just once - I tried returning a book. I mailed it back to Amazon, and never heard anything from them again. That was the first and only time I tried returning an item to Amazon.
Uncle John's does it again! December 14, 2008
It's hard to believe they can deliever such an entertaining product year after year. I've been a Uncle John's reader for many years. Uncle John's Unsinkable is one of the best I've read. My only regret is that I have finished this book. Now I must wait for the next book to come out!
Basically my review is...If you've read any of the Uncle John's series and enjoyed them, you won't go wrong with this edition!
Always a great read! December 10, 2008

I love the Bathroom Reader series, and this book was exactly what I was hoping for. It is funny, thoughtful and always enlightening. It's great to have in the bathroom, with different article lengths depending on how much time you have. :)

I never get bored of reading all of the little quips and stories that appear in Uncle John's Readers....Makes you say 'Really?'. None of them boring, all of them surprising and fun to read. Nothing very long in the readers they are all fairly short features in each book. Easy to pick up and read just a tad, then put it down until you can read it again. Stories are not in specific order, so you can skip all around, pick and choose...it all still makes sense and is good fun.
I doubt there is anyone who can find bad things to say about a fun book like this.
