The full title of this is "How to Traumatize Your Children: 7 Proven Methods to Help You Screw Up Your Kids Deliberately and with Skill." It's a gag gift book to give to people with a very certain snarky sense of humor. At 144 pocket-sized pages, it's a fast read. My reaction to it is mixed. It's very much my sense of humor, but at the time, the joke felt like it got old fast. It's a concept that, for me, feels like it would be stronger as an essay rather than an entire book. ( )
