I Hate This Place

Being a glass-half-empty type of person, I was immediately drawn to the title of this book. The fact that it was written by Jimmy Fallon and his sister Gloria didn't hurt, either. I've been a fan of Jimmy Fallon (and a FalPal) ever since his Late Night days when I couldn't fall asleep – even after Jay Leno. I'm also a closet fan of Gloria Fallon. I like her attitude. I'm sure she is responsible for some of my favorite passages from this book. Her reflections of how things really are, have been absorbed, I'm sure, from breathing the strident air of New York. The illustrations by Howard Roberts are clever, cute and appropriate, My favorites are the mad hare and the grim reaper. Then there's the guy with the screw through his middle. Overall, the book is well-written and well-published.

This book was good, but considering I read it in about 10 minutes, the price of nine dollars was ridiculous.

Love people's reactions when they see this book on my coffee table.

Funny and relatable to this pessimist. Sorry to see someone listing it for $2,000 on here. That is just silly.

Not only is Jimmy funny.. But his sister Gloria too! It's basically a picture book and it takes like 30 seconds to read. So FalPal approved :-)

I was so excited to get this in the mail...If your a BIG fan of Jimmy Fallon ((Like I am) or even if your not you gonna love this book!! It's so funny! I laughed at every turn of the page!! Jimmy and his sister should really do another book

Fallon at his best. This book makes me laugh outloud and I've reread it many times. I enjoy it when I'm feeling a bit down. Laugh and laugh.

Vintage Fallon book from 1999. Rare orginal copy. Great find, very impressed by the quality, no damage or wear from over the years.
