VERY Amusing! A Customer Very much like her earlier books (same format, same humor). As I've gotten older, I only relate more to her humor of the mundane truth of our lazy, neurotic, full of junk lives. A lot of the cartoons in this book are about parenthood, so I expect I'll like it even more once I go through that. One cartoon is called, "An excerpt f. She's The Best Mary Ryan Duffin I was afraid I would be disappointed because I expect so much of her, based on her past and present cartoons. I love this book, and it never gets old.

From Publishers Weekly Chances are, even if you don't recognize the name, you've seen Chast's work, which appears regularly in the New Yorker, Scientific American and Redbook, among other places. All rights reserved.

As the twenty-first century begins, we can only be grateful that Roz Chast is here to tackle some of the tough themes of the times: genetically altered mice, birthday parties from hell, and comfort drinks in the age of insecurity.
