Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

Sometimes when you read a joke book, the humor is lost. There are just too many jokes in a row to absorb the humor of any of them. The organization of this book makes it fun to hear the jokes, old and new, while learning what might make them funny to some people and not others.
