This is an offshoot compendium of "The Believer" magazine, a monthly publication dedicated to books and book criticism. The reviewed titles may not be current, and the reviews may be lengthy. Other article and interview subjects are eclectic, to say the least, as is the host of advice givers assembled to provide answers to burning questions. An introduction by David Cross sets the absurdist tone of the work, with contributions from Sarah Silverman, Daniel Handler, Janeane Garofalo, Bob Odenkirk, and Amy Sedaris (who helms "The Believer"'s monthly advice column, Sedaratives), among others. The questions asked (and their respective answers) have no unifying themeanything goes. The only constant is the high level of snark in the answers. While much of "The Believer"'s content is substantive, its advice column usually provides some levity. There's plenty of levity here but not much substance. VERDICT Readers of "The Believer"'s advice column will enjoy this title; larger public libraries should consider this as a worthy addition to their humor sections.Audrey Snowden, Cleveland P.L.Copyright 2010 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
