It's not often I come down hard on a book like this, but here goes:First off, this isn't a book - it's a collection of screenshots of text conversations. Which is fine, alright. But, well, they're mostly not that funny. The jokes are awkward, often look faked, and usually just fall flat without getting me to crack a smile - and come on, I look at silly youtube videos and cat gifs all day, it's not hard!What really struck me was the complete lack of effort, like this author didn't even try. There wasn't even so much as an attempt to format these conversations, they look like images just slapped together from numerous sources - and in fact, they are. Websites making fun of autocorrect mistakes have been around since it became a commonplace feature, and they steal from each other all the time, sure. But I have never seen someone steal the images of someone else, crop out that site's watermark and logo, and then try to SELL it. Admittedly, it's not quite illegal - it's just a con. If it's "epic text fails" you want, just Google it. I promise you'll find funnier stuff, and for free.Incidentally, if you're still set on this purchase, note that it contains some material not appropriate for children.
