Critical Praise for Tort$ "R" Us"I can't recall reading, or seeing, anything in a long time that had me laughing so hard and loud. Morrison has a perfect ear, and eye, for the absurd." -Michael Abram, Retired Labor Lawyer"This book is hilarious from beginning to end. There were times when I laughed out loud. The word plays are very clever and the plot manages to skewer many of our personal references, while not being mean-spirited." -Maureen Bateman, Former General Counsel of U.S. Trust Co. and State Street Bank and Trust"I never expected to be so marvelously entertained by a book about lawyers and lawyering - laughing out loud in almost every chapter until the tears rolled down my cheeks." -Janet Graaff, Retired College ProfessorCritical Praise for Please Pass The Tort$"A Tour de Tort! I smiled as soon as I opened Please Pass The Tort$ and didn't stop laughing until I finished it. Morrison's wit and humor are sure to provide a welcome diversion." -Recovered Lawyer and Federal Judge"Great sequel with our very innovative lawyer friends Pap and Pup and my favorite client Lydia Lowlace and her version of the English language! The book is hilarious and so entertaining it is hard to put it down." -Lawrence Power, Former President of McGrath Power Associates"T.C. Morrison delivers more of his trademark legal mayhem in this terrific sequel to Tort$ 'R' Us. Don't miss it." -Andrew Schau, Retired Litigator and NY City Law Firm PartnerPatrick A. Peters ("Pap") and his twin bother Prescott U. Peters ("Pup"), the fearless tort lawyers whose zany exploits delighted readers of Tort$ "R" Us and Please Pass The Tort$, return with yet another round of legal mayhem guaranteed to make you laugh until you cry.Their latest antics include a lawsuit on behalf of consumers who bought what turned out to be worthless crypto currency from the now-bankrupt FTZ; lawsuits challenging the labeling of Godiva Belgian Chocolates and a Vermont company's ice cream purportedly made from the milk of "happy cows"; and yet another lawsuit on behalf of the unforgettable Lydia Lowlace, who's image from Playboy is now part of a collection of non-fungible tokens sold by an off-shore start-up.Settle into your favorite chair so that you don't fall on the floor laughing at the new exploits of these lovable lawyers who leave no stone unturned in their quest for fun, fame and fortune.… (altro)

Not very entertaining send up of the tort law field, I was especially put off by the overly cutesy names of the characters and law firms. ( )

I found this book to be amusing at times. At other points I found it to be mediocre at best. I grew tired of the cute little renaming of people. Just was not the book I hoped it to be. ( )

I made it through two chapters of this "hilarious" novel with only a single smile, not a chuckle to be heard.
Half a star for clever names--it would have been a full star if they had been more subtle. A second half star for spelling and punctuation.
I received this as an advance reader's copy from the publisher and I still feel like I overpaid with my time. ( )

This is the 1st book I have read in this series. At first, I had a hard time keeping up with all the characters and cases. It was a bit distracting. Once I got the hang of it, I enjoyed all the puns on their names. Very funny book. I liked that the cases were very timely with what is going on today. I liked the wordplay with the lawyers’ names like Warren Peace and Holly Woods, and the brokerage company, Smith Blarney. It really makes you laugh out loud! I highly recommend it! ( )

Shortly after receiving this book a few months ago, I read the first forty pages all at once. It's a very silly book. The sort of book where one of the characters has sex with all the ladies but don't worry he's not the main character. They're all types, in short.

And the humor is pretty broad. For instance, a fellow named Cam Conman-Steele who runs a crypto exchange-cum-ponzi scheme called FUX hired celebrities to promote FUX, such as football player Lom Grady (and model exwife Gazelle Munchkin), basketball player Strange Curry, and actor Batt Gamon. I bet it won't take you long to decipher their real-life equivalents. I really want to keep reading the book to get a lawyerly take on these things but the shallowness of the humor feels like a missed opportunity to me, and it's making it hard for me to want to pick the book back up. I have nothing against cheap yuks, but humor can be an exquisite tool to explore the foibles of the rich and powerful, and nothing in the opening chapters leads me to believe that it will do anything of the sort here.

I'm not getting rid of the book yet and, if I do return to it, I'll also return to this review. We'll see.
