Failed to be funny, for sure

 How Not To Get Married: Confessions of a Wedding Photographer

by George Mahood


Mr. Mahood, what were you thinking? This book is 75% serious--and you're supposed to be a humor writer. I keep reading and reading, waiting for the joke at the end of the paragraph--and it's not there! This is seriously an advice book for expectant brides and husbands-to-be.

It could have been so funny, too!  I know he's capable of it. But that apparently wasn't the point, and I'm very disappointed. I'll keep reading it, though--I like all his other stuff and he does have a funny inserted here and there in the straight story.
