| Customer Rating: | | One of the funniest books I've read in a long time. Some pages brought me to tears! |
Guess who's coming to holiday dinner?
| Customer Rating:  | "50 Relatives Worse Than Yours," by Justin Racz, is a cleverly designed work of humor that catalogues 50 different types of annoying or embarrassing relatives--Buffet Loiterers, Holistic New Age Aunt, Power-Hungry Hosts, Family Newsletter Publisher, Glory Days Dad, The Computer-Illiterate Generation, Slutty First Cousin, Religious Zealots, The Force Feeder, Cheek Pincher, The Vegan, and more. Each profile features an illustration (generally a photograph), as well as characteristics of the type that are broken down by category. Some of the categories used throughout the book are the relatives' mottos, typical gifts they give, their secrets, the benefits of having them, and the drawbacks of having them.
Racz's humor is occasionally rude, cruel, or repellent, but I found the book undeniably entertaining. And I imagine that the average reader will recognize some of these types in his/her family, or in other people's families. As a bonus, the 51st entry is labeled "Your Relative"--the reader can supply an illustration and characteristics for a type of irritating relative not covered in the book. A good book to reference around holiday times, when you are likely to run into some of these types. |
