S*** Book Reviewers Say


About 18 months ago, Ron Charles, Washington Post’s fiction editor started a series of video book reviews,”The Totally Hip Video Book Review.” Filled with sight gags and intentionally bad jokes, he takes a satirical look at today’s books and book reviewing.

Released this week, “S*** Book Reviewers Say,” is fun to watch. I made a note to locate his earlier videos and put them on my To Be Watched list, which is now next to my To Be Read list!

I found the video on Galleyat's MediaBistro. It's fun and worth the hop over there.  Here is the direct link to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XjM-zllpHuA

Let me know what you think.

  3. Ruth,
    Wow that was something different. It was an entertaining summary of commonly used terms of review I imagine. He certainly has talent and isn't afraid to use it. Thanks for sharing.

    I got a really good laugh from watching the Ron Charles video. I'm glad you enjoyed it too.
