This hilariously entertaining and meticulously researched book is a "must read" for the college-bound. In fact, I would recommend reading it even before deciding where to apply. It surely gives a better sense of the atmospheres at many colleges than any admissions package ever could. It is a sad, sad shame that this book is out of print -- it is truly a classic. Steinberg is a devilishly ...             A Complete and Utter Failure4 reviews Neil Steinberg Main Street Books, 1995 Donald Trump needs to read this book! A wonderful, hilarious, beautifully written, and inadvertently profound book. Neil Steinberg, previously the author of an eye-popping compendium of college pranks ("If At All Possible, Involve A Cow"), takes what would seem the most dismal of subjects and turns it into an empathetic and celebratory meditation on an underappreciated trait that binds us all together, the capacity to screw up, ...             Hatless Jack10 reviews Neil Steinberg Granta Books, 2005 A fascinating look at a major cultural change Imagine if all of a sudden men starting going outside without pants on. (Let's for the moment ignore the teenagers who wear them so low they are essentially pantless, wearing tall socks rather than trousers.) We would be startled, shocked, confused, and wonder what had happened. Well, this is what occurred during the 20th Century with hats. Look at old photos of busy New York streets and you'll ...             Drunkard: A Hard-Drinking Life16 reviews Neil Steinberg Dutton Adult, 2008 Drunkard This was an excellent book for those affected in some way back alcoholism. It was a very honest portrayal of the winding, rocky road recovery can be. It is rare that one shot at treatment is sufficient. I appreciated several things - 1) Mr. Steinberg's honesty about his struggle with the spiritual aspect of AA. This is something that keep many people away from AA and I think his sharing of ...             The Alphabet of Modern Annoyances5 reviews Neil Steinberg Doubleday, 1996 Marvelous writing; hilarious insights Someone gave me this book as a birthday present, and I let it collect dust for several years because I hadn't heard of the author and the cover of the book had a straight-to-the-bargain-bins look about it. Well, shame on me, because this book is fabulous. The author is an extremely clever wordsmith, and his descriptions and analyses of various "modern annoyances" are laugh-out-loud funny, ...             Don't Give Up the Ship: Finding My Father While Lost at Sea2 reviews Neil Steinberg Ballantine Books, 2002 A good read for good readers Neil Steinberg's "Don't Give Up the Ship" is a good read, but not an easy one. If you are looking for a book which revels in syrupy emotionalism and demands little from the reader, then this is not the book. But, if you want an open and honest accounting of of an emotional journey, then this is your book. As usual for Steinberg, the book uses clear language to make its points. This isn't one ...             Complete & Utter Failure: A Celebration of Also-Rans, Runners-Up, Never-Weres1 review Neil Steinberg Doubleday, 1994 "Complete and Utter Failure" my behind! This was a funny, interesting, facinating book. Filled with an amusing mix of facts and story, I have to say it's easily one of my favorite books of all time. If you're going on an extended train, bus or plane ride then this is the book for you.
