Product Description
I decided to write this piece because my internal critic told me to write it. At least I think he told me to write it. You see, he only speaks French, and I don't speak any French, so sometimes there can be a lot of confusion. In fact, all I really know about Pierre is that he loves wine, croissants, and women with hairy armpits.

Mr. Kintz is back with more creative communication. The pace is fast and furious and steers clear of mundane one-dimensional characters. These "correspondents" have five speeds and overdrive, most with expired driver's licenses but inspired comedy permits. I especially liked the Dear Edmond letter where the author is chased home by a host of Labor Day picnic food. "Waiting for Someone to Double Park On My Chest" is chalk full of social commentary that puts the brakes on logic but invents new roads to wisdom and creative success. The most important lesson I learned, and it was tough to narrow it down to one, was that "nobody likes to hang their jacket up after they wear it." Fortunately Mr. Kintz has an answer to this and many other philosophical, romantic, and social problems. Don't forget to put money in the meter.

I must admit, I liked some e-mails more than the others. But reading those I liked, I laughed to tears. Jarod Kintz has a very special sense of humor. Although he makes fun of his characters' vanity and lack of understanding, he succeeds in remaining their friend - kind, warm and nonjudgmental.

When I read the line about "personal emails taken without permission", I knew I was in for a wild ride. Jarod Kintz has a knack for pulling all these crazy personalities out of his head and personifying them through brilliant characters such as Gunnar Von Graussling. The key to Kintz's success is his mastery of subtle humor - so subtle you can barely taste it (much like my cooking). Gunnar's knee-slapping emails are filled to the brim with this kind of humor and some are so crazy, you can't help but chuckle, at the very LEAST. Worst-case scenario? Wetting your pants.
