Too bad Jam wasn't very funny. :(
Yep, I was really expecting a laugh-out-loud novel. I sort of tweaked it, instead of J for Jokes wfor the book being humorous, I used J for Jokes because the book felt like a joke without a punchline.

@Sockpoppet Thanks! :)
@Ilhem Ooh, that cover's got me interested.
Ball & Chain by Abigail Roux, there were very few pages that didn't have my laughing by the time I got done.
Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson (aka The Bloggess).

What did you think of the book? I've thought of reading it, but wasn't sure as I don't often like these type of humor books.
It's a tad shonky in places, the introduction for instance, and she does the old "inserts from the editor" joke too much, and some of the material is recycled from her blog, but when it's good it's properly don't-drink-anything-unless-your-sinuses-need-cleaning funny.
I wouldn't pay full price for it (but I'm mean), and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody who hasn't read her blog because she does have a particular style which is fairly sweary, but it's worth reading. I give it 3.5 stars overall.
