Review: Ovewritten, Heavy-Handed Humor

The subject is ripe for a parody, but the execution kills this attempt. Hammering the same jokes into the reader over and over again, Blake doesn't seem to trust the reader to "get" them the first time around. His writing style just felt too thick, constantly winking and smirking at the reader, invariably using ten sentences to tell a joke when two or three at most would do. Meanwhile, my funny bone remained untickled as my eyes glazed over. I guess this just isn't my type of humor.
