The cover of this short tome shows Einstein in front of a chalkboard with his famous equation over his head in small letters, while he points at “LOL=Laugh out loud.” Which is not an equation, but a translation. The author calls himself The Professor, which he certainly could be, but it’s not like he’s THE only one.
In the introduction it states that the average six-year-old laughs 300 times a day, while the average adult is between 15 and 100. So the basic premise here is everyone should laugh more.
The idea is wonderful; the execution, not so much. The problem: I hardly ever laughed. The only time I ever actualled LOL’d was the story about the guy who wanted his pants cut. I more often groaned, and not in a good way, at the cheesiness of the jokes.
2.5/5

I got through about five stories, none of which made me laugh or even chuckle.

I thought the blurb for this book sounded really good, I have had a pretty tough time over recent months and so the opportunity to "LOL" was excellent. Sadly I didn't find the book very funny, there were a couple of stories that did make me smile and I enjoyed them but the rest didn't grab me. I may be one of the minority so would still say to give it a go.

When I started reading this book, I had high hopes for a quick and funny read. Well, I got the quick read but really most of the stories included were not funny at all. Some of the jokes didn't even make sense, and some required a lot of time to sink in before you got it. The stories were short which helped make it a quick read. The author's name seems to be Albert and likes to play on the fact when it comes to the name "The Professor", referring to Albert Einstein.

Overall the book was fast paced and some of the jokes would be inappropriate for children, so that is why I put the warning at the top. I don't think I will be picking up volume two if it is published.
