Review of
Mad’s
Cradle to Grave Primer, by Larry Siegel and George
Woodbridge ISBN 0446889067
Four out of five stars
Unlike some of
the other books printed under the Mad Magazine label, this one remains
entertaining over time. For the topic is about time and how it changes us as we
go through life. Using images on the left page and verse on the right page, the
developers take the reader from the proverbial slap on the bottom when born to
arriving at heaven.
The main character
is male and a loser through and through. Picked on by everyone, including the
girls, in school and on the playground, he discovers that all through
childhood, that is the only real female attention that he can acquire. ln
typical Mad style, the book paints life as a series of miserable events with no
joy or genuine success.
If dark humor
is something you enjoy, this book will spread some joy in your life.
