great book made better by TriciaG

I thought TriciaG did a great job reading this book. sometimes I wonder if people know that the speed can be controlled. sometimes that makes all the difference in the world.
I feel slightly insulted

I'm not sure i've ever heard anyone sound as patronising as the reader of this book.
A good collection, but not so easy on the ears

TriciaG'sG does not make many of these quotations as individual as needed, to make the book easier to follow, but she does extremely well with the complex pun poems, the illiterate requests for educational material, and the epitaphs. This collection of grammatical landmines made me smile, and I've even shared some of them with my teenagers. March 2018.
