Radio personality and Fox News contributor Ingraham's fifth publication is a less political, more comedic work. She pokes fun at a variety of topics, from megasized baby strollers to the rudeness of restaurant hostesses to people who attend church solely on holidays. Unfortunately, her humor isn't clever, and she recycles subjects explored by many better comedy writers. Her take on the world is rather doom and gloom—the only rays of light emit from Fox News and Tea Party politics. As would be expected from a radio personality, Ingraham's delivery brings life to the well-trodden ground she covers. Recommended for fans of her previous works. [The Threshold hc, published in July, was a New York Times best seller.—Ed.]—Johannah Genett, Hennepin P.L., Minneapolis
