This was a fun, light read, full of amusement and diversion. It brings haikus up to date, with comments on all matters of life and defecation (you thought I was going to say death, eh?). Book was relaxing and, yes, I would happily give this book to my friends who could use a lift. The introductions were very insightful, by the way. Who knew that haikus could be naughty and, perhaps, were designed to blow off steam (Know, her? I hardly met her!). So, if you are into an evening of robust humor, if you are not easily offended, if you, like the authors, delight in writing to specific format of 5/7/5, you'll enjoy this book. Or, to satirize one of the haikus found in the book:
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

See what a quick learner I am?
