My Custom Van: And 50 Other Mind-Blowing Essays that Will Blow Your Mind All Over Your Face

Be prepared to Laugh out loud in Public

I challenge anyone with a sharp sense of humor (and especially those familiar with and fans of M.I.B.'s work) to take this book to a coffee shop, library, bus station, funeral, bordello (once you're done) airport or doctor's waiting room and read any more than a few chapters without involuntarily laughing out loud and begging for more. You probably won't make it past the intro but I'll give it up to and including 'Taco Party'. That will take you less than 1/3 of the way through the book. The gaultlet has been thrown down

This guy is AWESOME

Michael Ian Black never fails to deliver in any of his comedy projects that I have seen. His brand of humor will make you laugh out loud, and this book is no different. Anyone who titles an essay 'Series of Letters to a Squirrel' surely deserves some literary prize. This is pure genuise! He finds extrorgdinary humor in the most ordinary things. If your a fan of Michael, or just a fan of humor writing, this is defintely a good read.

Stunningly hilarious

If you like MIB or have any sense of humor, this book is a must. I flew through it and laughed the entire way! His essays are so out-there and unnecessary that it's like you're barely even in the real world when you read them, you're in a place where originality meets hilarity. It's also occasionally applicable to the real world, as I once used evidence from the essay "A Series of Letters to a Squirrel" to prove a point in an argument I was having (what that point was, I can't seem to recall, but the essay was very helpful). I recommend it to practically everyone I meet!

Michael Ian Black parties to win.

This is the funniest book I have ever read. Michael Ian Black has such an odd and dry sense of humor and it comes though very well in his writing. It is probably not for everyone but if you "get" his television shows you are going to love this book. I read this book cover to cover in the book store and promptly bought it and go back and read random essays now and then whenever I need a chuckle. When the book was released in paperback I bought a stack of them and now give them away as my go to gift for friends and family.

Ahoy to Michael Ian Black:)

Wow mannnnn I bought this book a couple hours ago and I havnt put it down! Amazing, random, hilarious, and erotic...Just buy it, you'll love it!!!

Don't WASTE your hard earned money

This was the most unfunny book I have ever read. I think Michael Ian Black thought his little stories would be funny and entertaining. He was wrong. It's not entertaining enough to read even in the bathroom. You could use it for toilet paper if you're in a jam.

Be ready with a towel to mop up your face

If this genius collection of essays doesn't completely blow your mind, then either you can't read, or had a humour bypass. The entire volume is a sustained work of the highest hilarity, and at once both makes fun of the world and the author himself, all affectionately, and all hysterically. Being a collection of short pieces, you can dip in and out without worrying about a continuous narrative, and you can read your favourite bit over and over. Fabulous!

LOL

Seriously one of the greatest books ever. After sitting down in my local BN next to two unsuspecting customers... I began to read. Within about 5 minutes, I was LOLing like you wouldn't believe. Within 20 minutes both customers next to me had left due to my frequent laughing. 'Taco Party',,, Seriously incomparable. MIB is a genius. The exact type of pop culture satire-esque crap to get me through my day.

FUNNIEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ!!! I LOVED IT!!!

Michael Ian Black's new book MY CUSTOM VAN is really funny and a great read. It has 50 short essays that will have you doubled over laughing so hard that people will look at you funny. I highly recommend getting this book for yourself and after you have read it, you will want to buy more copies for all of your friends to enjoy too.
