"Bob Odenkirk is wrong. He's wrong about Jesus hosting a comedy show and he's wrong that his book is just, 'a load of hooey.' It's a load of funny and thoughtful is what it is. And why would one title a book that way? It gives the wrong impression to folks. It's a terrible marketing plan. It should be called, 'The Best Book in the World This Year', or, 'This is Totally Worth It!' or something along those lines. It's certainly not a load of hooey. Oh! And I looked up the definition of "hooey" as per the Merriam-Webster Dictionary .


It does NOT say that! He's wrong about that too!!!! Wrong, wrong, wrong!" --David Cross "Whip-smart and laugh-out-loud funny." -- Publishers Weekly "The king of alt comedy.expands his reign with this absurd collection of tirades, rhyming verse, and tips on how to avoid getting an embarrassing tattoo." -- O, Oprah Magazine "Odenkirk.shows his cerebral side in his first collection of humor writing." -- Maxim "Delightfully absurd" -- The Weekly Alibi "A deft blend of silliness and ridicule, mirth and rage: salt augmenting sweetness." -- Barnes & Noble Review "Delivered with a combination of thoughtfulness and absurdity that Odenkirk has honed over the course of his career." -- A.


V. Club "'A Load of Hooey' is a load of laughs." -- New York Post "A toolkit for anyone with a stake in making a 'creative wage' out of our digital culture. [Cory Doctorow's] arguments are entertainingly presented, forcefully made, and easy to follow." -- Quill & Quire "Very funny and immensely silly." -- Portland Mercury " A Load of Hooey finds the comedy legend doing what he does best: lampooning pretension." -- Chicago Reader "Spoiler alert -- it's FUNNY!" -- Local IQ "Is it fair that [Odenkirk] is not only a funny, successful actor but also a funny, successful writer? Absolutely not, but fairness has even less to do with comedy than love and war." -- The New York Times Book Review.
